Numbers eats 70% CPU when mouse hovers over document

Same thing for me. I just bought numbers yesterday, and activity monitor is around 70-80% if I just move a page up and down. Frustrating.

I have an iMac, early 2009, 8gigs of RAM. Even if it's the only thing I'm doing on my computer (all other applications close), result is the same.

Not for me unfortunately. Did you have Numbers already installed before you updated to 10.8.1?

How is it for you now - when you hover the mouse over Numbers, if you're looking at Activity Monitor, does climb to 80+%? I see that when I hover the mouse out of Numbers, Numbers CPU activity goes down to normal.

Any other people has experiences to share?

That's weird, maiksd... I'm totally lost.

No change for me on 10.8.1. Still in the 60-70% range when hovering over a table.

No change for me either.

I will start the update tomorrow because traveling at the moment and will post my experience.

Unfortunately, the problem remains after the update.

The only thing that has changed is that, before the update, the CPU increased its activity up to 80% if you hovered the mouse over a table, despite if you have clicked on a cell or not. Now the CPU increases its activity up to 80% when you hover the mouse over a table, AFTER a certain cell is clicked.

I have already sent an updated bug report to apple describing the issue. Hope to solve it soon.

So,

I have upgradet to 10.8.1

1. After the upgrade I have wait 30 mins with soinning wheel after the restart

2. And nothing happened

3. I have shut down my Macbook Pro from the Power button and restrted

4. It had sshowed 10.8.1, but I have downloaded the 10.8.1 update and did it again

5. Finally, I havenow Numbers with about 60% eating. The temparature curve is not so extreme, but the CPU diode is showing 71 - 91ºC!

I mean that Apple has not solved their own problem with Mountain Lion and Numbers!

But it our problem, because we have paid to have a problem.

I have upgrade to 10.8.1 as well, but am also experienceing this issue. For me, it's not just when I hover - Numbers heats up my MacBook Air even when I'm working on a file.

This is really a big problem for me as I have lots of important Numbers Spreadsheets that I work on.

Does anyone have any news to share on this issue?

Thanks for the feedback, Mike. Looks like we have a serious issue here. Is there a way we can voice this loud enough so that the guys at Apple know about this issue and write something to solve it? I'm thinking Apple won't read stuff here..

Mike,

This issues seems to be confined to the pointer and its position relative to a table. Hovering over any other object in a sheet is OK. Hovering over an Inspector pane is OK. You will reduce the impact of this situation if you can get by with minimal use of the pointing device over tables. Navigate with the arrow keys when possible. Be conscious of where the pointer is as you work.

A large Text Box filled with text of zero opacity, so as to not be too obtrusive or a Shape with the Background Fill set to zero Opacity, can be used to make a safe place to "park" your pointer when you aren't using it. Just a clumsy work-around, I know.

Please take a few minutes to Submit Feedback to the Numbers team from the Numbers menu.

Jerry
