Long texts in ubiquity causing it to freeze/high CPU usage

[Artem Skvira]

Hi,

I suspect it's an error in parsing algorithm. Basically when you
entering a long text - say going:

"twitter this is an example of how ubiquity hangs when long text is
entered into it or long links a pasted"

causes it to respond very slowly in the beginning and then becoming
slower and slower as you type further away.

FF 3.6.10 / Ubiquity 0.6

I am happy to raise this as a bug if you point me to the bug tracking
system, as the ubiquity page on mozilla web site doesn't seem to have
it linked.

Thanks,
Art

I do notice a little hitching and pausing but nothing very obvious.
Which build of 0.6 are you currently running?

Not sure whether this is going to be helpful, but that's top of .rdf

...

Which doesn't say much about version other than it's 0.6.

Long strings have been a persistent issue for our parser, and I wouldn't be too surprised if you see delays or pausing with very long input.

If the string is some string you copied from a web page, you can avoid this issue by selecting the text on the page and, instead of copy/paste-ing it to the ubiquity input, using the keyword "this" in your ubiquity command. Ubiquity will interpret "this" as your selection, and it'll avoid parsing through that long string.

I mostly get this issue when posting to twitter - and texts are
relatively short, < 140 characters.

Any chance this issue could be fixed?

I have noticed this too, it would be great to get this improved.
