Title:
unity window resize / movement extreme slow multimonitor
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Symptom/Occurance:
This slow window resize/movement behaviour will not occur when logged into a
"lxde" or "gnome(classis)" session on the same machine. But in a unity or
unity-2d session, apps like Nautilus, pcmanfm or firefox or chromium-browser
the bigger these application windows get, the harder they seem to move or
resize especially on a multimonitor setup it becomes incredibly slow.
Affected manufacturers:
After some googling and looking at youtube movies and other ubuntu releases
with "unity" I see it doesn't matter which video manufacture is used al be it
Nvidia, Intel or AMD/ATI closed or opensource driver, but in case of using the
ATi frglx driver it can be worse than it is already now, but some tweaks in
CompizSettingsmanager like "quality, vsync, refreshrate" will improve the
performace BUT NOT in this scenario in which I'm writing the bug report for.
Packages:
I cannot say if it is unity or compiz, both of them or something else. But
other desktop sessions do not seem to be affected. Unless I run LXDE and start
unity or unity-2d-shell on top of it, than it becomes as slow and sluggish as
unity(2d) itself.
Regression?
I'm running a test setup from the beginning of 12.04 LTS and this annoying
behavior has been there from the beginning, until a month ago it seems to be
fixed. Running on a multimonitor setup with opensource driver reacted and
responded incredibly snappy, even until compiz 0.9.7.4 update last week but,
after the update of compiz 0.9.7.6 this weekend it was back sluggish and slow
again. I will try to figure it out more exactly.
Possible Fix?
I do have a daily live iso image of ubuntu 12.04 LTS but don't know from
which day, but it doesn't show this SLOW/buggy behavior until you logout and
login again back to its default live session and than performance becomes slow
again.
