This is most likely due to our inner shadows. I think we can't really fix it properly since we do have to repaint the whole widget due to how we had to implement the shadows. And since you use leafpad, you're likely on a slow machine. The only thing I can suggest you is using OXYGEN_DISABLE_INNER_SHADOWS_HACK environment variable, setting it to 1, i.e. starting your affected apps like this: OXYGEN_DISABLE_INNER_SHADOWS_HACK=1 leafpad This will disable the inner shadows, making the appearance slightly uglier, but at least you'll get the performance back.

somewhat "heavier" than raleigh, adwaita or arc but not really an issue unless you look for it
