Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce:
open a folder containing some files click on an empty zone of the window and start dragging as if you wanted to select some files Expected behavior: as you move the mouse cursor while holding down the mouse button, the selection rectangle should be continuously redrawn. This redrawing should happen at a very fast rate (like more than a dozen times a second at the very least) so you would have the impression it is "continuous". Also, this should consume an almost undetectable amount of CPU. Observed behavior: the rectangle is not redrawn until you stop moving the mouse cursor. If you keep moving the mouse cursor, it will never be redrawn at all! If you do stop moving the mouse as you normally do, you will get the impression that the animation is terribly jerky, as if the computer was doing too much work. CPU consumption reaches 100% while you move the mouse, whether or not the selection rectangle is redrawn. The developers upstream say this is not an issue in Nautilus itself (I wonder how they can be so sure). https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/127#note_8911 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-98.121-generic 4.4.90 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-98-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.10 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Nov 20 21:11:57 2017 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'sidebar-width' b'190' b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'geometry' b"'1301x716+406+119'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'use-tree-view' b'true' b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-column-order' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'date_modified', 'date_accessed', 'owner', 'group', 'permissions', 'mime_type', 'where']" InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-11 (1501 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug third-party-packages xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1733410 Title: awfully slow to respond when drawing selection rectangle To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1733410/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
