| jbicha | hi, do any of you experience bug 1798861 ? | 14:28 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | bug 1798861 in gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) "Tooltips flicker constantly in GTK3 applications" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1798861 | 14:28 |
| jbicha | I could try cherry-picking the fix but it's difficult for me to do the cosmic SRU if I can't reproduce the bug on my computer | 14:29 |
| brainwash | jbicha: it affects a fresh Xfce session | 15:09 |
| brainwash | not Xubuntu session | 15:09 |
| brainwash | https://git.launchpad.net/xubuntu-default-settings/tree/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml | 15:11 |
| brainwash | the cursor size is set for the Xubuntu session | 15:11 |
| brainwash | Xfce session is unset, and therefore 0 (default) | 15:12 |
| jbicha | ok, I don't see it there either. I chose Xfce session from the login screen from the 18.10 live ISO in Virtualbox | 15:13 |
| brainwash | well, the flickering may not occur, but I think the tooltip does not occur at all in this case | 15:14 |
| brainwash | like, hover over a desktop icon | 15:14 |
| brainwash | it should show a toolpit | 15:14 |
| brainwash | tooltip | 15:14 |
| jbicha | ok I can reproduce now. I had to create a new user to make sure I had a clean profile | 15:16 |
| brainwash | basically, only ubuntu users who have installed plain Xfce are affected | 15:18 |
| jbicha | did y'all set the cursor size as a workaround, or was that already there? | 15:19 |
| brainwash | it has been always there | 15:20 |
| brainwash | since 2010 | 15:21 |
| jbicha | do you have any estimate for how many users use plain Xfce? so how important this is to fix in an SRU? | 15:22 |
| jbicha | right now, I'm thinking it's not important enough to worry about. It will be fixed in 19.04 | 15:22 |
| brainwash | it can be easily fixed on the user side | 15:23 |
| brainwash | so, not very important I guess | 15:23 |
| brainwash | not sure how easy it is to actually find the bug report + workaround | 15:24 |
| jbicha | my question is how popular is plain Xfce for Xubuntu users? | 15:25 |
| brainwash | for xubuntu users probably very unpopular | 15:26 |
| brainwash | but quite some ubuntu users might use plain Xfce | 15:26 |
| jbicha | ha | 15:26 |
| jbicha | ok, I don't think I'm going to do the 18.10 SRU for this. Let me know if y'all disagree | 15:27 |
| jbicha | hi, it's me again. Turns out that there was a gtk 3.24.2 release today so I'm going to try to SRU that so y'all may get the flicker fix after all | 21:09 |
| ochosi | jbicha: that'd be awesome! also, there's that trayicon bug... https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1280 | 23:03 |
