Description Vendula Poncova 2019-12-03 11:27:05 UTC

The default animation of the Gtk spinner has some performance issues (see the bug 1204242). We have found out that it helps to limit the number of steps of the animation (see https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/2240). However, the icon process-working-symbolic is not designed to be animated this way. When the rotation of the icon is not smooth, the spinner looks a little glitchy.

We would like to use an icon that can be animated with a very small number of steps, but still looks beautiful. Could you provide an alternative icon for a spinner, please?

Could you file this upstream at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme please? I don't work on the icon theme itself, just package it.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle.
Changing version to 32.

Comment 4 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 16:00:42 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2021-05-25 15:12:44 UTC

Fedora 32 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-05-25. Fedora 32 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
