Running masterplan periodically freezes the gnome-desktop #38

When running masterplan the gnome-desktop freezes periodically for short times (a few seconds).

I'am on Fedora 33. If you need more details, let me know.

PS.: Interestingly this happens also when running the windows-version via wine.

Hello~! Sorry for the late reply, and thank you for reporting this! I'm going to need more details, yeah.

What's your system hardware information (CPU, RAM, GPU, driver, etc)?
Does this happen randomly and periodically, or only when you actually do something in the program?
Following the previous question, is Auto-save on?
How large is your MasterPlan project in kilobytes / megabytes?
Does this happen on a blank project?
Is there anything in the log.txt when this happens?
Does MasterPlan continue running after the freeze, or does it freeze, and then crash MasterPlan?
How are you running MasterPlan - through the itch app, or simply by downloading and running? Is there any difference in behavior between the two?

*) System-specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 RAM: 32GB GPU: Radeon RX 5500 OS: Fedora 33 Desktop: Gnome(-shell) on Wayland GPU-Driver: Mesa 20.2.2 (OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6)

) It happens even if masterplan is in the background. ) Auto-save is on ) project-size is lower than 10kB ) Didn't test it if it's happening on a blank project. ) log.txt seems to stay always empty. ) in case the computer goes back to normal operation, masterplan does so too. otherwise need to use reset-button of the PC. *) downloaded it with itch-app, but starting it alone.

I have a similar issues, but it doesn't take down my entire system requiring a reset. CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 RAM: 32GB GPU: AMD Vega56 OS: Arch Linux Desktop: i3wm (xorg) GPU-Driver: amdgpu, mesa 20.2.2-2

Project size is high, but it can happen on small projects to. It can happen whenever, but it seems to be more common right after editing an object's text.

I have seen a similar bug in one other program that does cause me to need to reboot - VCVRack, a free music program. I'd be curious if the issues are related to the AMD graphics drivers and our system config @roidal . I also think it might have to do with compositing. I'm not (normally) running a compositor and I know some programs try to render far too hard, for example in Zoom I can hear my GPU whine when it tries to render the loading circle at stupidly high frame rates.
