Currently FC37 and FC38 are using Pan 0.149 which has a known bug with newsgroups with a large number of posts. This causes the system to crash or freeze making the application and system a problem. Loading a large group like a.b.tv or a.b.multimedia demonstrates the issue. 1:0.149-4.fc38 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Pan 0.149 2. Go to a large newsgroup with millions of posts and load, a.b.multimedia for example. 3. Wait for nothing as the program either crashes or runs forever. Actual Results: Pan goes into a loop and looks like it crashes, using close to 100% of a processor. GUI is unresponsive so you cannot stop it. Cannot open the task list to stop the process. Expected Results: Pan should be able to load the newsgroup or be able to use the GUI to stop the process. A patch to pan was implemented a year ago. May fix the problem. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/-/merge_requests/25 This bug may also be related to the crashing via an infinate loop. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/-/merge_requests/41
Created attachment 1976432 [details] Corrupted window for application Pan This is a screen cap of the corrupted image since Pan won't update it's window while it is stuck with a large group. Not sure if the program crashed or is stuck in a loop.
