When I use gedit, it freezes. Checked more, it freezes when the certain character is typed through kinput2, "("(for small "yu" on jp106 keyboards) ")" "{" and "}".
More tests show that I only need typing Shift key over kinput2 to freeze gedit.
I can confirm this with gedit-2.14.3 and gedit-2.14.4. It happens regardless of whether or not gedit is compiled with the "python" and "spell" flags. Also, it only locks up when "(", ")", "{", and "}" is typed into the main editing area. It doesn't lock up if any of those characters are typed into the "Find", "Save", or "Open" dialog boxes. <=app-editors/gedit-2.12.1 is not affected.
(In reply to comment #2) > <=app-editors/gedit-2.12.1 is not affected. I have enjoyed it until 15 Nov 2006 when gedit-2.12.* is outdated in the portage-tree. Thank you. Now, do I have to test gedit-2.16.*, yet these are ~x86 ?
(In reply to comment #3) > Now, do I have to test gedit-2.16.*, yet these are ~x86 ? Please, try w/ >=gedit-2.16.2-r1
Please try with newer versions of gedit (2.18.2 as of today). Don't hesitate to reopen if it happens again.
