[Bug 849806] [NEW] gvim runs away with CPU while terminal vim does not

[Nick Moffitt]

Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to oneiric I find that gvim can go into a state where it
is regularly unresponsive, and that it goes grey for several seconds at
a time.  I do not have this problem running vim in a terminal.  I have a
rather customized configuration, so I will try to attach my configs
next.

It seems to depend on what my first keystroke is.  If I gvim a file and
hit 'j' first, it goes grey and does this for every keystroke I hit.  If
I instead hit 't' and then a character on the line, everything appears
fine and I can hjkl around without trouble.
