New window animation stuttering

c-leri commented 1 year ago

Whenever I open a new window whilst having this extension enable, the opening animation stutters. I tried deactivating my other extensions and the issue stayed so it probably is caused by this one. Maybe it's just to heavy on the system or something ?

Hey! Do you have this issue with every window you open? Can you please run the script below in a terminal and attach the output? (for i in $(dconf list /org/gnome/shell/extensions/rocketbar/); do echo "$i:" $(dconf read /org/gnome/shell/extensions/rocketbar/$i); done) Also before opening a new window run journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell in a terminal window and attach the output here. Thanks!

Also would be great if you could run neofetch/screenfetch/or so... and attach the output here just to give me an idea of your system specs.

Hello, Yes the stutter happens everytime I open a new window

Here are the outputs of the commands/scripts you asked me to run :

1 - ❯ (for i in $(dconf list /org/gnome/shell/extensions/rocketbar/); do echo "$i:" $(dconf read /org/gnome/shell/extensions/rocketbar/$i); done)

2 - ❯ journalctl -f -o cat /usr/bin/gnome-shell This came directly after I entered the command prompt

This line was added after I opened the fedora app store application

These three lines were added after I opened tidal-hifi

Are you on Wayland or X11? Actually I see nothing interesting in debug logs... so let me run Fedora and see if I can reproduce it

c-leri commented 1 year ago

I'm on Wayland but after trying it with Xorg I got the same issue

ChepKun commented 1 year ago

Well I guess I'm able to reproduce some kind of stuttering using Fedora 36 live mode when Firefox window is opening and the extension is enabled. Not sure if it is the same stuttering... because App Store window animation is really smooth... The are two possible reasons for that I can think about right now:

app button animation when a new button gets created, it's a simple one but maybe there is any problem in gnome shell/gpu driver/etc that causes stuttering because of multiple animations are running simultaneously
code for updating window icon geometry probably... it's not resource heavy, especially for a single window, but worth to check if it's not causing any issues.

So I'm gonna spend more time digging into the possible reason for that.

ChepKun commented 1 year ago

@celestomm I can confirm that I was able to reproduce this issue. Seems like it happens mostly because of a dominant color feature that is always enabled behind the scene regardless of settings (Ooops). Also in my case noticeable stuttering only happens when power profile is set to power saver, with balanced power or performance profile animations look smooth. And I'm unable to reproduce it using Manjaro + X11 + nvidia gpu, so I'm going to use Fedora and intel gpu for testing.

In case you would like to test a temporary workaround, please comment out the code below: inside this file ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/rocketbar@chepkun.github.com/ui/appButton.js do log out -> log in and see if it helps, thanks!

c-leri commented 1 year ago

This solved my issue ! I wasn't using the dominant color option anyway so that's a win for me I guess. For the power profile thing I'm always on balanced power so... maybe it's an issue related to my computer or something idk. Anyway thank you very much ! :)

Fix for the bug is gonna be included in the next release
