sysprof of weston-terminal while highlighting text

When highlighting text in the weston-terminal, the cpu pegs to 100% and weston-terminal becomes unresponsive and the cursor changes to a busy icon.  Eventually, weston-terminal becomes responsive again.  It's much worse, however, when weston-terminal is in fullscreen mode.

Comment 3 U. Artie Eoff 2013-10-28 21:09:24 UTC 
I just tried with upstream master cairo-glesv2 and this problem goes away.
Comment 4 Uli Schlachter 2013-10-28 21:46:11 UTC 
So are you saying that this bug was already fixed in cairo's git master?

Yes.  I'm hoping to do a bisect to see which commit actually fixes it.  

Potentially we could get it backported to a stable release?
Comment 6 U. Artie Eoff 2013-11-22 17:34:34 UTC 
I haven't had time to bisect which commit fixed this issue.  But I can confirm that at least cairo version 1.12.16 works fine.  I imagine distros will start picking up that version or newer soon.  Therefore, closing this one.
