[Freewx-maint] Bug#583746: libwxgtk2.8-0: gradually increasing CPU usage in Audacity when idle

[Michael Deegan]

Package: libwxgtk2.8-0
Version: 2.8.10.1-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

I noticed that a minimised audacity was gradually using more and more CPU,
initially using "only" 20% CPU, ramping up to >80% twenty minutes later.
Audacity's CPU usage drops again when I switch to it. Some googling turned
up:

   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=1256504318.4856.10.camel%40localhost&forum_name=audacity-devel

which refers to:

   http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/11315

which is why I'm reporting it against libwxgtk2.8-0 rather than audacity
itself.

I see wxWidgets 2.8.11 was released slightly over a month ago, maybe the
fix is there?
