Description Pawel Salek 2003-02-27 22:05:32 UTC
Description of problem:
In certain circumstances, gtk_timeout_add() may trigger an infinite loop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gtk2-2.2.1-1

How reproducible:
Sometimes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run balsa. Try opening a large mailbox (over imap for better effect).
2.balsa will stop responding to clicking on mailbox index.
   
Actual results:
balsa will very likely stop responding to clicking on mailbox index (clicking o
a message schedules an idle function that is not executed at all). Instead,
balsa will use 100% in gtk2 code.

Expected results:
It should work as with older versions of gtk2

Additional info:
What is crucial here is that I strongly _suspect_ it is not balsa problem since
it works just fine on RH8.0, and I seem to recall phoebe-2 did not have this
problem neither. But of course, I am not sure. Any hints how to debug it will be
 very appreciated. All the relevant idle functions return false.

Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2003-02-27 22:24:38 UTC
As far as I can recall, nothing has changed in this area of GLib
since before 2.0.0.

But this might be a known TreeView problem with infinite expose
loops. Think so, Jonathan?

Comment 2 Jonathan Blandford 2003-02-27 22:44:59 UTC
It's possible.  I haven't committed that fix yet, but will do so shortly.  Can
you try the attachment and tell me if it helps you?

Comment 3 Jonathan Blandford 2003-02-27 22:46:12 UTC
Created attachment 90407 [details]
scroll fix.

Comment 4 Pawel Salek 2003-02-27 23:31:22 UTC
It seems the fix is right! I have some combinations of mailbox opening sequences
that always led to this problem but now, I cannot reproduce it any more.

Comment 5 Jonathan Blandford 2003-02-27 23:57:34 UTC
Cool.  I'll close this after I commit that patch.
