Growl notifications get stuck on screen #348

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Apparently we're running into a problem where Growl notifications get stuck on 
screen. However now we have a possible reproduction:

mleveneur: @GrowlMac full of bugs since you have to pay... Nice. New Roll-up is 
fine but notifications stay up if you pass the cursor upon it. 1.3.1

https://twitter.com/mleveneur/status/133915453830598657
mleveneur: @GrowlMac Sometimes by mousing, others by clicking. And some other 
times, it works well.

So essentially try testing with that, mouse over and click.

More from the reporter:

mleveneur: @GrowlMac Thanks. I think it occurs when I want to click on 
something else and, @ the exact same moment, a notification appears right there.

I'm getting this occasionally as well. It only appears to be twitter.app 
notifications, but this may just be because it is the most active.

I haven't been able to narrow down exactly what it was I was doing to cause it 
to stick - but I don't think I was interacting directly with growl at the time.

Would there be any logging or anything I could provide that would be useful?

Update: it's just happened to me again, this time with iTunes.

I've been able to mostly reproduce this using the Pseudo-coda display style 
only. I just mouse over the notification as it's fading out of view, it pops 
back in and gets stuck.

I was able to reproduce this, when you click at the spot where the message 
appears at the moment the message pops up it gets stuck, already expected this 
so tried it by clicking in the area where my message would appear until it 
appeared, first try was directly a hit.

I have the same problem in Adium chat.

Is there any way to close the window?

@customer the quickest way to fix the problem is to quit growl and start it 
again, right click on the growl icon in the task bar and hit quit, then start 
growl from your applications folder again

thanks @twanwv.

BTW, not sure if it's at all helpful, but when the window is stuck open, there 
are 2 instances of growl in the activity monitor. I was able to close the 
window from there.

@customer didn't know about that fix yet, will experiment with it.

@customer this isn't happening to me, just one instance of growl is running and 
the threads stay the same before and after the 'ghost notification'

I found and fixed the bug. Race condition if you hovered over a notification 
twice durning it's fade out. This race condition is taken care of now.

Future reference, you can do a regression test by hovering over the 
notification twice durning fade out and if you timed it right, can cause the 
notification to get stuck. You can continue to quickly hover and over and it 
may go away, however if you clicked close, a flag is set that will get into a 
state you can't dismiss it no mater what steps you take.
