Opening an search page in yelp and leaving it causes an permanent 100%
CPU load for me:

- open yelp from terminal
- type something in the search bar (e.g. "test")
- klick on a link or on the back button besides the search bar to leave
  the search page
- yelp has 100% CPU load

found on debian testing with yelp 3.4.2

Kind Regards,
Michael

Hi
i have the same issue in the  3.16.1-1
Start yelp search something, sometime happen when you open a result
sometime after a second search.
The CPu use an entire cose so on my PC Monitor show 25%, top show 100%.
Closing yelp windows leave the process running , after some time i can
hear the fan start so i have to kill the pocess.
Best Regards 
Luca
