Description Mirosław Leśniak 2024-02-14 20:48:16 UTC
Description of problem:
Firefox freezes from time to time or sometimes I'm unable to type in Firefox on this computer.
Happens with both Fedora and Debian, firefox-esr and stock so i suspect problem with the i915 driver since this is a ThinkPad x250.
For now I turned hw accel off in the browser, we'll see if that helps.
Also, I run Xorg.
I marked severity as "high" because I can't rely on my browser.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
122.0

How reproducible:
Just use it a while on a ThinkPad x250

Does hw accel flip help here?
Thanks.

Comment 2 Mirosław Leśniak 2024-02-19 11:40:13 UTC
Well I flipped accel off then flipped it on, Firefox had an update in mean time.
What happens now is I sometimes can't type text in and i have to kill Firefox because closing the window freezes the application.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 39 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 39 on 2024-11-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '39'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 39 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 39 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2024-11-26.

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 Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

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