Description of problem:

After upgrade to kernel 3.18.3 when I open a libreoffice-writer document that have a table with columns and lines, when I try to select some columns / lines with the mouse system completely hangs (if select gnome session in GDM system completely hangs if I select wayland system does not completely hangs and can log what is happening)
Note: if I select kernel 3.17 in the boot menu everything works find (most be a issue of nouveau with the new kernel 3.18)

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
3.18.3-201.fc21.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.11-1.fc21.x86_64
libreoffice-writer-4.3.5.2-11.fc21.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter with the gnome session in GDM 
2. Create a document in libreoffice-writer with various columns and lines (as attachment) 
3. Select with the mouse some of the columns and lines (play selecting and unselecting few times)

I am seeing this with every 3.18.x kernel that has been released, including 3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64, to which I just upgraded today. Downgrading to kernel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64 makes the problem go away. For me, sometimes the display will spontaneously hang when I can't tell the cause, but the most reliable method I've found to hang it is to run xsane and click on the mode (Color / Halftone / Gray / Lineart) selector in the main window, which causes the hang immediately.

Probably relevant log messages:

This is the second time an intra-Fedora-release kernel upgrade has borked Nouveau for me. In the middle of Fedora 20 my second monitor suddenly stopped working after a kernel upgrade, and that didn't get fixed until Fedora 21 was released.

The lack of adequate QA is disappointing.

Comment 7 Jonathan Kamens 2015-02-15 18:01:38 UTC
Oh, BTW, as far as I can tell, the whole computer isn't hung -- you can still log in with SSH and everything -- it's just the X display that's hung, and there's no way to unhang it. Even kill -9'ing gdm and Xorg does nothing.

Comment 8 Rob 2015-02-15 18:22:56 UTC
The only work around is to install the proprietary nvidia drivers and blacklist the nouveau driver, one thing is for sure as from kernel 3.18 nouveau driver is broken.

Comment 9 Diego Campos 2015-02-28 23:28:19 UTC
I have the same problem too! :(

My kernel version is Linux 3.18.7-200.fc21.i686
and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau version is 1.0.11

In my case, it happens when I open a document with writer and select the text of a complete page and then the environment freezes (but I can move the cursor, only that) so I have to reboot the system.

Comment 10 zingale 2015-04-14 16:28:46 UTC
I've had the same issue -- I had reported this as Bug 1203711

Comment 11 Trevor Cordes 2015-04-22 04:24:27 UTC
Probably duplicate of bug #1203023

Someone needs to go through all these similar bugs and consolidate them.

Comment 12 Jonathan Kamens 2015-04-22 12:40:01 UTC
Problem appears to be gone with kernel 4.0.0 in Fedora 22 beta.

Comment 13 zingale 2015-04-23 17:28:17 UTC
This is still an issue with 3.19.4 on Fedora 21

Comment 14 Fedora End Of Life 2015-11-04 10:43:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. 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 '21'.

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 21 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 15 Fedora End Of Life 2015-12-02 08:21:13 UTC
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 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.
