Bug Description

I tried to create a simple gui app with Glade interface designer 3.18.3-1 installed from Ubuntu software center on Xubuntu 16.04. After running glade for a while I noticed the lag while moving the mouse around. I opened System Monitor (see screenshots). Glade went from using 100mb of ram to 600mb and later on 1.6gb, while using 100% cpu. Later on I tested the same thing just by opening glade file. After few minutes glade started to eat ram & cpu while it sat idle.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Are there any date predictions for correction? Or we will have to wait for version 10.16 with Glade 3:20?

This bug seems to have been fixed in upstream on 2017-06-13 (according to the link in comment #3). But testing that seems to require GTK+3.20.
Perhaps it is time to upgrade to 18.04/bionic beaver...
