100% CPU when opening large data editor

[sagizvi]

Hi.

Lately we've upgraded our version of PLSQLDEVELOPER for all the developers in the bank. Since then the developers say their computer get stucked.

I've tried that myself and found out that when opening the large data editor (even for varchar2(1000), after few seconds it makes the computer go to 100% CPU.

(We are registred clients)

IT happens when an XML content has special characters or hebrew..

It happens only when the field (in my case varchar2(4000))contains with hebrew characters.

1. the user selects the large object editor
2. the editor comes up and shows the user the xml in the "TEXT" tab.
3. the editor gets stucked. (my guess is that the editor is trying to parse the xml and gets on a loop somewhere, maybe bidi algurithm or something else)

Unfortunately we have not yet been able to reproduce this. Can you confirm that the problem is restricted /related to Hebrew characters?

Hi,
We are getting the same problem. We upgraded to pl/sql developer 7.1.3 and when we try to open a large data editor that contains hebrew characters, it got stuck. (If the value contains only english letter s, it is opened fine..)

Hey Marco.
Please check it.

For now we cant upgrade the Bank site to this version.

sagi.

Hi
The same problem happened with us, it happened when large data editor contains Arabic characters too, but it is ok when it contains only English characters. I realized that this problem happened in "text" tab only as it is the first shown tab when the editor is opened. This happned with version 712 and upward. Strangly it is ok in version 711.
I am using windows 2000 pro but the problem is there on Windows XP too.

I can confirm that it happens with hebrew letters as well.
