[Bug] Whole desktop glitches.

[vrihaspati110]

I was browsing store and tried to maximize it when it happened. It has happened before while browsing firefox as well and randomly in few other apps. It goes away when I lock the system with Super+esc. and log back in.

My System Specs: System : Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Gen 9 Laptop OS : PopOs 24.04 cosmic Alpha CPU: i9-14900hx GPU: RTX 4070 8gb Ram: 32 GB Graphic Mode : Hybrid

Do let me know if you guys need anything else. And Thank you for your hard work.

Are your actions leading to this bug similar every time you get it? Are you able to reproduce it on demand?

No not really, it sometimes doesn't happen for hours. And I will be doing something else and this will happen suddenly. I can't reproduce it on demand, or I have not been able to figure out the requirement for this bug. Today, in morning, it happened twice in an hour that's when i decided to file the bug report, but since then it hasn't happend. Do let me know if you want some sort of log. And Thank you for the reply.

Do you have the dock set to autohide when maximizing?

It is unlikely to show much in the logs if it is simply a calculation somewhere going wrong, but it is worth a try. If you know the approximate time it occurred, or it happens again, you could look in the system journal for cosmic-comp with:

journalctl --user --since 10:00:00 --until 11:00:00 _EXE=/usr/bin/cosmic-comp

which will show entries between 10 and 11 am, but you should try to change it to be when you believe it happened. You can also try replacing the last _EXE=/usr/bin/cosmic-comp part with | grep cosmic to not just filter for cosmic-comp.

Try posting it here

Jesus Christ it produced a 60 mb txt file with this same error over and over.

I can't submit it here. I had to open it in nano because it hangs the cosmic text editor as well.

And Yes, I have set the dock to autohide not the top panel though. Do let me know if you need something else.

[peterkrull]

Hmm, I have a bunch of entries like that as well, so I am not sure if it is related. I am not too familiar with the code base to comment on what could be wrong. I'm just trying to help in extracting potentially useful information

[vrihaspati110]

Thank you peter.. I did not know that command. Do you know anymore commands which can help me to give more info on the subject?
