Lives preference dialog infinite loop #440

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install and start the Lives video editor.
2. Open preferences window(C-p).

The preference window will then cycle very rapidly between two sizes, using 
near-100% CPU.

Tested using xmonad-0.9.2 on Arch linux.

This is very likely a bug in Lives; you're describing a program that thinks 
window manager *hints* are window manager *orders*, and reacts poorly when the 
window manager says "no".

What exactly do you mean by "reacts poorly when the window manager says "no""?

What you're seeing:  it demands its size again, and again is given a different 
size, repeatedly (rather like a young child).  Meanwhile its window flickers 
between the initial and xmonad-assigned size.

Does it happen with all tabs selected, or only the first tab (GUI) ? In 
particular does it still happen with the Warnings tab (which uses a scrolled 
window to fit its contents) ? Does it happen with the Themes tab (which has 
only one sub widget) ?

In LiVES svn most of the tabs now use scrolled windows for their contents so 
this may resolve the issue.

It seems like the bug is in GTK+ 2.x and NOT, in fact, in LiVES.

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list/2011-February/msg00107.html

mentions the bug and that it has been fixed in GTK 3.

BTW, you will get LiVES issues resolved much quicker if you report them on the 
LiVES bug tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=64341&atid=507139

or on the LiVES fora...

or on the lives-users or lives-devel mailing lists...

or by emailing the developer (me) directly... In fact two of these methods are 
available by a single click from the Help menu.
