codeblocks
so i pretty much only use windows when i have to. my current editor of second choice is codeblocks. but it's got a number of shortcomings. the biggest of which - sometimes it loses its fucking mind when it opens a file. 100% cpu usage for literally minutes. doing god knows what. the workaround is to disable symbols browser. Menu Settings -> Editor... -> [Icon] Code Completion -> [Tab] Symbols Browser -> [Checkbox] Disable symbols browser. this might get reset every time you open a new project. dunno for sure. but it does seem to somehow get re-enabled. which is really frikken annoying. cause i forget the workaround. and giggling the answer generally gives stale answers to past bugs that chewed up cpu forever. sigh. i bash microsoft a lot. deservedly so. but man. visual studio is the cheesecake.
