Bug#557403: dolphin becomes laggy and cpu load jumps when viewing hidden files in home folders
Package: dolphin
Version: 4:4.3.2-1
Severity: important
I've tested under two user accounts and the root account and all three exhibit the
same behavior. When I choose to display hidden files in ~/ either through the menu or
via alt+. dolphin consumes 100% of one cpu core and it becomes laggy while navigating.
When navigating other folders, the problem seems to go away. Perhaps this is due to the
number of .files and .folders in ~/? I use the command line mostly so I can't say when
this actually started but I've only noticed this recently. Wiping out the .kde folder
doesn't solve this behavior.
