Caveat: Firefox and Thunderbird not working with latest GTK
Hello. The box is a 9.3/i386 and I'm using portupgrade to compile ports from source; the desktop environment is XFCE. Yesterday evening I updated some unrelated ports and some dependencies of Firefox and Thunderbird were updated: after that, those two applications were not running properly. The main window would come up, but never be updated anymore; if I typed on the keyboard I could perceive something happening under the hood (other windows popping up, network packets flowing), but I would see nothing on the screen (the main window would stay exactly as it was when it opened). I removed all extensions, but to no avail. I tried portupgrade -Rf thunderbird firefox and let the box compile all night, but again, no luck. So I downgraded all the ports that had been updated and FF and TB started working again. Then I began updating them one at a time and found the culprit to be gtk: when upgrading from 2.24.22_4 to 2.24.25 I get the behaviour described above; after downgrading, both programs work again. I did the same test on another box (10.0/amd64) and got the same results. Right now I'm running the old version of GTK and I'm fine. I'm unsure whether to file a bug report, tough, since I have no further info to include; OTOH, maybe I'm doing something wrong... I'm willing to do any testing if someone can suggest what to try and where to look. bye Thanks av. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The stalled GUI update symptom occurs after using the search feature. The mouse pointer changes from text selection on moving across the search text box to the paintbrush clear button and clicking that button brings the GUI updates back to life. I'll try the gtk downgrade and report back. Right now I'm running the old version of GTK and I'm fine.

This should fix the UI update issues in firefox. -Koop ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It fixed the Pan symptoms too. -Koop ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
