[14:28] <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
[14:29] <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
[15:09] <brainwash> jbicha: it affects a fresh Xfce session
[15:09] <brainwash> not Xubuntu session
[15:11] <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
[15:12] <brainwash> Xfce session is unset, and therefore 0 (default)
[15:13] <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
[15:14] <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
[15:16] <jbicha> ok I can reproduce now. I had to create a new user to make sure I had a clean profile
[15:18] <brainwash> basically, only ubuntu users who have installed plain Xfce are affected
[15:19] <jbicha> did y'all set the cursor size as a workaround, or was that already there?
[15:20] <brainwash> it has been always there
[15:21] <brainwash> since 2010
[15:22] <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
[15:23] <brainwash> it can be easily fixed on the user side
[15:23] <brainwash> so, not very important I guess
[15:24] <brainwash> not sure how easy it is to actually find the bug report + workaround
[15:25] <jbicha> my question is how popular is plain Xfce for Xubuntu users?
[15:26] <brainwash> for xubuntu users probably very unpopular
[15:26] <brainwash> but quite some ubuntu users might use plain Xfce
[15:26] <jbicha> ha
[15:27] <jbicha> ok, I don't think I'm going to do the 18.10 SRU for this. Let me know if y'all disagree
[21:09] <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
[23:03] <ochosi> jbicha: that'd be awesome! also, there's that trayicon bug... https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1280
