docking and slow scrolling fix
Submitted by jav on Thursday, 9 August, 2007 - 20:39
I've been using jEdit since pre9 and currently moved to pre10.

In pre9 at times I had the 100% cpu utilization problem reported by others, which resulted in the main scrollbar being really slow among other things. In pre10 I haven't noticed the resource hogging problem anymore, but the scrollbar (and scrolling of code in general) often became unbearably slow.

In Global Options, Shortcuts, Close Current Docking Area the shortcut was for some reason C+e C` and whenever docking related functionality was fired up, this triggered an error that made jEdit scrolling unusable (11:17:59 PM [error] KeyEventTranslator: Invalid key stroke: C+e C`). Noticed it while browsing Troubleshooting,Activity Log. This problem manifested itself also while not having the main work area maximised. The fix? Clear the shortcut. The error is still fired up, but it doesn't cause any problems.

Maybe this was an unfortunate typo on my behalf, though I can't remember even messing with the shortcuts.

Leaving this here for anyone whom might stumble into jEdit behaving slowly.
