GNOME freeze on large text copy #183

Open busybox11 opened 1 year ago

busybox11 commented 1 year ago

Description

GNOME sometimes freezes on a still image for a couple seconds after copying something, but the sounds still works. It seems like the size of the content does impact the amount of freeze.

Problem Explanation

While copying the entire USA constitution from this page, I had around 5-10 seconds of freeze with the sound still working - I was watching a livestream. I am using Wayland.

Expected Behavior

Reprodution

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open a Wayland GNOME session with Pano
  2. Copy the USA constitution from this page by hand
  3. The desktop should freeze with the clipboard notification appearing with a delay.

Not just on large text copy, I had to disable pano as it freezes my system when I'm simply trying to make the clipboard show up with Super+Shift+V.

Pano version is 19, I don't remember this happening in previous version but also haven't tested it after this freeze issue.

I'm not able to do anything when it's frozen, TTY, etc nothing works. I've to force restart the system.

@nozwock I just discovered another problematic behavior - I will be creating a new issue right after this reply. Basically copying the URL to a file download target will download the entire file and can freeze the entirety of the UI while it tries to parse it (? idk what's going on but that's my guess).

UPDATE: #188

The same problem occurs for me again... There's nothing changed AFAIK.

This is still an issue. Notably, it seems the system does not actually freeze. Audio still works, my music plays and switches songs just as always, and my Mumble calls work just the same, and I still hear notification sounds from apps. It appears to be purely a visual freeze, as if the graphical GNOME Shell's rendering is hanging, but still processing the backend alongside everything else.

I believe it is related to the notification itself, as the freeze happens again upon hovering the notification. It's likely the entire text is being flooded into the notification, and GNOME never expects to handle this much text. Since it only shows about 5 lines anyway, trimming the text length is a likely solution.
