Description Steve Salevan 2010-04-21 18:34:41 UTC

Description of problem:
During long operations with subscription-manager-gui, the application will halt redrawing.  Long operations should be run asynchronously, or the GTK redraw function should be called during long operations.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
git HEAD

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform a long operation (adding subscriptions, registering, etc.) with the subscription-manager-gui tool
2. Move one of its component windows around on the screen
  
Actual results:
As above

Expected results:
Application windows redraw during long operations

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 3 James Bowes 2010-05-26 11:47:55 UTC

+1 for async. manually calling redraw rarely works.

Comment 9 Jeff Weiss 2010-10-13 14:30:03 UTC

This is a higher priority from qa's point of view - UI hangs need to be fixed.

Not only do the panels and dialogs stop drawing during long operations (which are most evident when registered to candlepin1, which is slow), there are dialogs which are supposed to contain progress bars, for which the progress bar is not even drawn until the very end of the operation.  For example, when subscribing to a pool.

Comment 10 Bryan Kearney 2011-01-04 17:14:23 UTC

With the new design, there are fewer flyovers.. and I am not seeing this.

Comment 11 J.C. Molet 2011-02-08 15:50:06 UTC

This cannot be reproduced as tested in versions above subscription-manager-gnome-0.95.1-1.git.5.ea27497.el6.x86_64
