Description of problem: When I start parole, cpu goes to 100%, and key repeat no longer works. strace parole shows that it's continuously reading and sending data over the X socket. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): parole-0.8.1-3.fc26.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. parole 2. top 3. go to some text input field (any, may be a different program), press key and keep it pressed Actual results: key repeat does not work, or only sporadially cpu goes to 100%, partly used by parole, partly used by X Expected results: key repeat works fine cpu stays low Additional info: if I open and start some video in parole, the misbehaviour stops after a small delay
Note that I installed I upgraded to parole-0.8.1-3.fc26.i686 for testing purposes. When I downgrade again to parole-0.8.1-2.fc24.i686 (current version in the f25 repo), things are the same. The behaviour seems to be related to whether the parole window has focus. If it has focus, parole runs at around 10% cpu (still a lot). If it loses focus, the effect occurs. When the effect goes away after playing some video, and parole gets focus and loses it again, the effect re-occurs.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 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.
Still reproducible on f26
