Description Konstantin Svist 2010-03-05 20:21:10 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm running XFCE with Clipman but using kdiff3 as the diff program of choice in my SVN client.
When running svn diff, kdiff3 takes several seconds to quit, displaying an error "QClipboard: Unable to receive an event from the clipboard manager in a reasonable time". Because of this it takes a pretty long time to run a diff on several files in a row (used to work perfectly well a few weeks ago)

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


How reproducible:
every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use XFCE/Clipman
2. run kdiff3 in terminal
3. quit kdiff3
4. wait for command prompt to reappear -- takes ~10s

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 20:43:19 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

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 prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Konstantin Svist 2010-11-03 20:51:00 UTC
Still applies in F14

Comment 3 Konstantin Svist 2010-11-04 00:16:37 UTC
Mind pointing out the upstream bug?

Comment 4 Neal Becker 2010-11-04 00:26:52 UTC
I filed the report here:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3102539&group_id=58666&atid=488548

BTW, I don't see this using kde.

Comment 5 Konstantin Svist 2010-11-04 04:26:37 UTC
Maybe it's not specific to kdiff3 after all. Just now I tried some other kde apps: kcalc, kmines, kblocks... they all exhibit the same behavior.

I don't usually run many kde apps, and when I do, not usually from command line -- except kdiff3.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2014-05-10 15:18:02 UTC
For posterity, looks like this may be Qt related, see
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32853
(and bug #1096456)
