And also founded strange reaction on functional key presses (ALT\CTRL\SHIFT\ETC) - seems plank do scans for CTRL for RMB menu works ( Now question: are we realy need this? Mean you can spawn menu with --preferences or add plank prefrences to system settings menu )
Thanks for your report! We're doing a complete rewrite of the dock based on our recent UI study and this particular issue isn't able to be reproduced in the new version of the dock
What Happened
Enabling clipboard manager in plank dock made a child process which re-spawning too frequently in background.
And seems this child process doesn't inherit nice level of parent, so software like Ananicy filling logs with renice messages.
Steps to Reproduce
Add clipboard plugin to dock
Close dock
pkill plank
Launch dock
plank
Open your favorite process manager ( htop e.g.) with threads highlight and set filter to "plank" process
watch -n0.1 pstree -ps $(pgrep plank)
You can see now plank launch child threads frequently Disabling clipboard manager resolve this instantly.
