Hi,
I can reproduce systematically this freeze dealing with a 10000lines
Python file :

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hugsy/gef/refs/heads/main/gef.py
emacs -Q gef.py

PageDown several times or scrolling with the mouse

Emacs freezes, Ctrl-g not working, CPU 100%

It works also by searching : Ctrl-s show RET
then Ctrl-s several times




With a minimal .emacs :

(set debug-on-error t)
(set debug-on-quit t)

and before scrolling

M-x profiler-start RET

then in an external terminal

pkill -SIGUSR2 emacs

I get the backtrace :

Debugger entered--entering a function:

Please tell me how I can help ?

Please tell me if there is a workaround without losing python syntax color ?

Thanks
