Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 804631
continuous scrolling in one window make other unusable
Last modified: 2013-08-01 13:48:16 EDT
Description of problem: My workspace consist of two gnome-terminal window. One with multiple tabs as main working space and second window displaying colorized log files. Basically, second window runs "tail /var/log/various,files | ccze -A". When there is a lot of log activity, second window scrolls most of the time. In such situation text input/output in other windows is delayed a lot. It feels like there is even one second of delay between pressing keys and reaction. For local shell this is unacceptable. Especially that text input/output in *other windows* is affected. As a workaround I open second tab on log window (so it has 2 tabs). When the scrolling occurs I use mouse to switch to the second, empty tab. This way text input/output is normal in other gnome-terminal windows. So this behaviour only happens when the scrolling output is actually visible and displayed. Text is not laggy when the scrolling tab is not visible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-3.3.0-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open two gnome terminal windows 2. Start some application outputting lots of text like "hexdump /dev/urandom" in one window 3. Try to type/work in second window Actual results: Text input is laggy Expected results: First window should not affect second window. Additional info:
This should be much better with gtk3-3.4.1-1.fc17
Still happens with: gtk3-3.4.1-1.fc17.x86_64 gnome-terminal-3.4.1.1-1.fc17.x86_64 vte-0.28.2-3.fc17.x86_64 reopening. BTW, GPU is intel: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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 to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
