Version: 1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) OS: Linux Each time I'm writing a new email, the letters only appears after a small delay, and all the system is pretty slow. I checked the CPU, and I see that Xorg is taking 50%, when the editor is open, since I've a dual core, I guess it is taking 100% from one core... When I close kmail editor, then it goes back to 5%... It is only since I've update kde... Reproducible: Always OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-25-generic Compiler: cc
I don't know how to reproduce. Here there is not this pb:(
+1 I really think this is a very old kmail bug that was never addressed. That's really too bad I have it randomly since old KDE 3. I happens quite often when I connect another monitor. Steps: in emacs, press a key and let it repeat during 10 sec: when you release your finger, it stops. in kmail editor, press a key and let it repeat during 10 sec: display is much slower and when you release your finger, it goes on typing for 40 sec (no kidding !) (kubuntu 10.04)
(In reply to comment #2) I should have added it does hot happen all the time. I dont know what triggers it.

It can be triggered by opening a huge (>1MB) PDF document with okular (did not check if other kde applications also trigger this). This bug is very very tedious fr me since I use kmail at work and hae to write a lot of mails and read a lot of PDFs.

Have you tried disabling spell-checking? It has been an issue in the past once in a while for me...
automatick spell-checking is disabled by me... if it is what you mean ? I'm using an nvidia graphic card, perhaps it is liked with that ?
I've tried kmail, with nouveau driver, and nv (free nvidia driver) and I could not reproduce the problem. It seems to be again an issue from that dumb proprietary nvidia glx driver !
I have the same problem, running on a Dual-Head Desktop-System, openSuSE 11.4, having a nvidia-driver in my xorg.conf. How can I help solving the problem?
Same here on OpenSUSE 11.3 with nvidia-driver.
Same here! Gentoo with KDE 4.7. If kontact / kmail starts operations via IMAP X is getting REALLY slow and takes up to 90% CPU for the whole time the IMAP connection is used... If I close kontact all problems go away...
Same here, spell checking is disabled.
Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
