Hi.

I’m getting a weird problem with long lines in the JSP editor.

I can scroll up and down fine, but if I have a very long line that requires scrolling left-right Eclipse will start using 100% CPU and take many seconds to do anything.

I’m running on Linux.

How long is the line? Like 120 chars long, or like 1k chars long? Algorithms for rendering *long* lines are computationally intense, if the line is really long, this behavior is noticable in almost any IDE on Windows, Linux and Mac.

Seems to start getting significantly slower about 200 chars.

Hmm that shouldn’t be happening, I’ve filed a request to have a developer investigate this for us.

Thanks, I’d be interested to hear what happens.
