It would really help us if you could put a bit of time into debugging the
slow typing issue.

Are you familiar with gdb or some other OSX debugger?
If so read on!

First off cvs update your tree.
Then reconfigure with ./configure --enable-debug

then run run abiword in the debugger

(gdb AbiWord-2.2 in an xterm)

Load a document with some text, put your caret in the middle of some text
then place a break point here..

ap_EditMethods.cpp:4917

 this is the first of the following three lines

4917-> ABIWORD_VIEW;
        pView->cmdCharInsert(pCallData->m_pData, pCallData->m_dataLength);
        return;

single step through cmdCharInsert with "next"

when you get to the following return statement

print the following..

pView->getGraphics()->getPaintCount()

What do you get? If we don't get 0 we know that there is a mismatched
GR_Painter somewhere.

If you do then it's sign the OSX graphics class is being hung up somewhere.
We need to find out why it's hung up and how to fix it.

I often hang out on #abiword onthe IRC gimpnet network.

Feel free to drop by and maybe we can do some interactive debugging.

This bugs has been holding up OSX for about 5 months. We should get it fixed.

Cheers

Martin
