When using the windows list applet (installed by default) on a gnome panel of at least 30 pixels placed in the right of the screen, it's impossible to open more than 7 windows without freezing completely Gnome-panel and needed to restart Gnome. Since gnome-panel freeze but does not crash, I can't create a backtrace. This bug is due to the fact that when the gnome-panel is more than 30 pixels, icons are shown for each windows in the panel. When Gnome has 7 windows, icons are stretched and there's no place for another window. At that moment, if 8th window is open, the windows list panel panic and gnome-panel freeze. How to reproduce that bug : 1. Right clic on the default ubuntu bottom panel and click on properties 2. Change Bottom to Right and increase the size to 30 pixels or more ( icons must appear in the windows list in the gnome-panel when the panel is in the right of the screen ) 3. Once the panel is at right, open 8 windows. Result : Gnome panel is now completely freeze, except the notification area.

Hi, I've upgraded (from network) to Ubuntu 10.04, and I can confirm that the bag is a little changed, but still exists :(. The good news is: at least someone is working on this bug :). Now, when there is more than 8 windows opened, the icons start blinking couple of seconds (10-20 sec). It seams like the panel is trying to extend applet then to shorten it then to extend it ... and so on, so it appears as blinking. When stop blinking, panel is working right (it is not friezed as before). After opening more windows, the blinking last more and more, so panel is not usable. usable I've also test live version (without installation on hdd) on virtualbox, the behavior is the same (blinking).

Here is another patch. It tries to attack the root cause of the problem: the window list doesn't handle vertical layout as such but as a case of tall and narrow horizontal layout. So I've: - added indication of the orientation, - passed the orientation from the applet, - modified the computation of the layout using the orientation (in some place I test the orientation and duplicate the computation mutatis mutandis) There is still work to do. For instance if you want a wide vertical patch, with my patch it doesn't use more than one column even when it would be better to do so. -- Jean-Marc ** Attachment added: jmarc-vlist.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37292275/jmarc-vlist.patch -- Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical/non-expanded horizontal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187540 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 187540] Re: Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical/non-expanded horizontal
I have been running Ubuntu on my system since 2004 or 2005. The gnome- panel freeze began 2 or 3 years in. I have applied Paskma's patch in the past to fix the problem, and this works very well. The only problem, however, was that this created an error when I wanted to update to 9.10 recently. The updater was unable to locate the ubuntu-minimum package. I figured that this was likely due to the fact that I had patched libwnck and gnome-panel which were likely part of the ubuntu- minimum package. Indeed, when I manually updated these libwnck and gnome-panel, the updater had no trouble in updating. The gnome-panel vertical freeze is still an issue, however, and I will likely reapply Paskma's patches. -- Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical/non-expanded horizontal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187540 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Sad thing is that users having notebooks with widescreen will still suffer from this bug. Of course as long as they won't waste their vertical space with horizontal-oriented panels or run too many GUI applications. A partial solution for my widescreen laptop was the use of Separtors in an expanded panel to limit the growth of the Window List applet to a maximum of 7 rows of buttons.

[Bug 187540] Re: Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical
you just need to place a separator on panel somewhere below window list applet not allowing it to expand too much (to a maximum of 7 rows of buttons). That's exactly what I meant. - Put a Separator a little below the Window List applet; - Launch at least eight applications; - Move the Separator until you have no more than seven rows of buttons so that the eighth button appears in the second column; - Lock the Window List and the Separator to the panel.

It is better not to involve God into this issue. ;) Sad thing is that users having notebooks with widescreen will still suffer from this bug. Of course as long as they won't waste their vertical space with horizontal-oriented panels or run too many GUI applications. :/ -- Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187540 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Status in The GNOME 2 Panel: Confirmed Status in “gnome-panel” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-panel This bug can always be reproduced and happen in very precise circumstances. When using the windows list applet (installed by default) on a gnome panel of at least 30 pixels placed in the right of the screen, it's impossible to open more than 7 windows without freezing completely Gnome-panel and needed to restart Gnome. Since gnome-panel freeze but does not crash, I can't create a backtrace. This bug is due to the fact that when the gnome-panel is more than 30 pixels, icons are shown for each windows in the panel. When Gnome has 7 windows, icons are stretched and there's no place for another window. At that moment, if 8th window is open, the windows list panel panic and gnome-panel freeze. How to reproduce that bug : 1. Right clic on the default ubuntu bottom panel and click on properties 2. Change Bottom to Right and increase the size to 30 pixels or more ( icons must appear in the windows list in the gnome-panel when the panel is in the right of the screen ) 3. Once the panel is at right, open 8 windows. Result : Gnome panel is now completely freeze, except the notification area.

[Bug 187540] Re: Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical
Hi all, i've installed the 8.10 release today and noticed this bug is still present. I've written a little shell-script that automates all the steps outlined by paskma (thanks for the patches by the way) and fiddles with the version numbers so that patch will not complain about it. Things to note: - use at your own risk (as with everything) - it has been tested with a fresh Interpid Ibex installation (gnome-panel and libwnck versions: 2.24.1) and most probably also works with previous versions down to 2.22.0, 2.22.1 respectively. - may also work in future releases - Synaptic will want to update to the broken ones again afterwards, iirc. - It doesn't update the Changelogs anymore, since their patches didn't work even with the modifications, and i'm too lazy to dig into the patch syntax. So here it is: http://dominiklang.ch/gnome-panel-fix Save the file in the directory of your choice, make it executable (if you don't know how, you'll find a way in the file's settigns) and run it with root privileges ($ sudo gnome-panel-fix). -- Gnome-panel freeze when 8 windows are open when the panel is vertical https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187540 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

@bmhm I did that as well and was able to compile the code. However, I guess I'm not sure how to apply it? I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure if there's another step after the sudo dpkg -i *.deb command? I ran that and it seemed to complete, but then no changes after reboot.
