Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
When opening a modal dialog from a java application in a gnome desktop that uses nautilus, nautilus collects all the java app windows into a single icon/entry in the gnome toolbar. When the dialog is dismissed, the gnome toolbar shows again a single icon/entry for each window of the java app. The removal of window entries in the gnome toolbar repaints the toolbar each time (and I can see it removing the entries one by one) and can take from under a second to 10 seconds or more when having hundreds of windows open. The archetypical java app with hundreds of windows is ImageJ, a public- domain application for scientific image processing of widespread use. If I understood it correctly, the behaviour of the gnome desktop, that of collecting all windows into one when there is a modal dialog showing, is to prevent the selection/manipulation of other windows of the same app. It would be ideal if: - the gnome toolbar did a single repaint, potentially eliminating all the lag without compromising the functionality. - the gnome toolbar just marked each window entry as inactive instead of removing it. The current delay seriously disrupts usability.
