editor performance
rickg22:
I know you have "disabled" code completion in the editor, but have you tried going to the "manage plugins" menu item and disable the code completion plugin as a whole? From what I can recall, the code completion plugin also does funny stuff whenever you move the mouse.

I have this problem aswell, but I think it got more severe the last week. The "only" things I've changed is upgrading Ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10 beta, and compiling a new revision of Code::Blocks from SVN. Can't remember the old revision number though, but i think it was 526x and now I have 5273.
It doesn't seem to be a plugin. I just disabled every single plugin installed and it's still slow. It doesn't seem to apply only to users with KDE as their main desktop environment as I don't even have KDE installed (other than their libs). Turning off compositing increased it's performance quite a bit though. It's still slower than you'd expect, but it's bearable. However I don't want to turn off compositing every single time I want to use Code::Blocks, since it's just an editor after all.
I also have redraw issues with compositing turned on, issues I didn't have before. It won't redraw when it's supposed to. Like, if I select a bunch of text and then click somewhere to deselect it, it still shows as selected but the caret appears where I clicked. If I then press any key, it redraws and the selection dissappears (not the text, the background color is restored to normal).
Edit: I just tested some more, and noticed a few things. Both problems happen to regular text files as well as code files. Also, the redraw issue doesn't kick in until I've reached 35 lines of text.
Edit 2: Ignore the redraw issue, it seems to affect most Gtk apps in Ubuntu 8.10 as of now, todays updates seem to have fixed it.

I've noticed the slowness appear only after the nightlies switched to the new wxWidgets version. Any revision before that, including 8.02 proper are nice and snappy, while anything after the revision when the new wxWidgets was incorporated was slow.
Perhaps someone can confirm this behaviour and then see what changes were made due to the upgrade of wxWidgets and attempt to fix this?

Hello,
I'm using the latest SVN build (5317) with wx 2.8.8 on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex and my editor is slow too.
I tried to disable the plugins but does not help.

I haven't feel it's editor performance is slow, my system is windows XP. :D
