[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[James Cameron]

Sorry Simon, I had already tested my patch with my own local package, I
didn't think you'd need me to test your package of it, and I'm hoping to
hear if anybody else has tested it.  ;-)

On a 17.10 Artful VM with Sugar, the Sugar desktop does not appear, some
other problem, so I'm not able to test there yet.

On a 17.04 Zesty VM with Sugar, installed your
libabiword-3.0_3.0.2-3ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb and the flickering problem
has gone.  So your package works for me there.

Any chance of a 16.04 Xenial update?  A "gir1.2-abi-3.0 breaks
gir1.2-abiword-3.0" problem occurs, easily explained.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Simon Quigley]

Since Wayland is not supported by Lubuntu, the only flavor that ships it
by default, and stock Ubuntu has their own replacement, I'm willing to
have this fix in Ubuntu.

I uploaded a fix to ppa:tsimonq2/universe-upload-testing. It would be
great if someone could test it and if it works, I'll upload it.

Here's the diff:

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[James Cameron]

Thanks for the bump, I'd forgotten to update this bug.

I found the cause of the problem and fixed it for systems using Xorg.
It was a race condition, and is affected by speed of computer, speed of
graphics, other processes, and theme drawing.  That's why it may not
happen for some people.  You can find my patch in the upstream bug
report https://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13791 and my
summary at Sugar Labs https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915

I'll be shipping the fix on the laptops we make at One Laptop per Child.

However, my fix was not tested on Wayland and caused AbiWord to fail
differently under Wayland, and upstream (correctly) refused to accept
the patch as is, and nobody seems to have done anything since.

I'm not using Wayland, and I'm not paid to support Wayland, so I'm
unable to easily work further on the problem.

But if any of you really need it to work using Xorg (e.g. Lubuntu), my
patch should be fine, and I'm happy to explain what the problem was in
detail.

Upstream would obviously benefit from someone who can program C++ with
GTK+ on both Xorg and Wayland.  If this is you, please offer to help
them.  It has been almost two years since this problem first began, and
it is slowly but surely destroying the usability of AbiWord.  Sad to see
the old girl go.

Confirm the bug with the dafault Xubuntu theme.
$ env GTK_THEME=Abiword

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Henk Terhell]

Your observation on the visual effects is likely the same as mine which I 
reported as bug #1649001. However this was considered as a duplicate of 
#1574278. 
Focuswriter or LibreOffice Writer can be installed as suitable alternatives.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Sondra Kinsey]

I experienced this bug in Lubuntu 16.04, and found it made Abiword
unusable. I recently installed Lubuntu 17.04 on a different computer and
was disappointed to discover the bug is still present with my fresh
installation!

That said, I'm not 100% sure my bug is the same as what is reported here. 
Above, and at the following places, is described the whole screen flickering 
when document not empty
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1lPas9-DuQ=youtu.be
- https://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13791
- https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915

However, my experience is that Abiword flashes from the top edge of the
background (below the ruler) to about an inch into the page on the top,
and from the left edge of the background to an eigth of an inch into the
page on the left. When I zoom in or out on the document, the same area
of the screen flickers. This happens even on an empty document.

I think this is the same problem
- 
https://askubuntu.com/questions/818219/abiword-documents-borders-keeps-flashing

I tried this:
  for i in `ls /usr/share/themes`; do echo $i; GTK_THEME="$i" abiword; done
It was the same for every theme, including Adwaita.

Any hope for a fix?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Brian]

Maybe I did not mess it up then. I would agree that the warnings I saw
were all non-critical, and it did complete. I am using MATE 17.04 64
bit., gtk 3.22 and is about exactly as Henk explains above. I can also
confirm that changing the theme makes no difference for me, and I
believe now that the patch is not effective either. I was using 16.10
prior to the upgrade and all worked fine.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Henk Terhell]

I have experienced that Abiword cannot be used on plain Debian Stretch,
Lubuntu 17.04 and Xubuntu 17.04, all using gtk-3.22. Heavy flickering or
moving of paper borders occurs, which stops, together with disappearing
cursor,  after about 8 seconds without activity. Changing the theme does
not have any effect.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[James Cameron]

G'day Brian. Good to hear. For local testing, the signing can be
ignored; there's an option to skip it. The warnings sound familiar,
but are normal. For me, the patch did fix the flickering of the whole
screen, but did not fix the flickering cursor. Guess next steps
upstream involve reproducing and debugging in depth to find out why
the flickering happens.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Brian]

@James- Thanks for all the help. I went through the steps and in the
end, nothing was any different. I was at least able to learn some of the
steps used here which I really appreciate. I did not see anything too
unusual... there was an error on not being able to sign in the end and
many warnings throughout (ex. depreciated items, defined but not used
variables, etc), but the build did finish and I was able to verify that
the patch applied to the proper file. My guess is either something was
not right or my experience is just too limited resulting in user error
somewhere.

Let me know if and when there are any other options. Thanks again, I
really do appreciate what I have learned in the process with your
direction.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[James Cameron]

G'day Brian.  The patch command automatically applies a patch to a set
of files.  The particular patch has a sacrificial path element so the
--strip 1 option should be used.  The --dry-run option is also useful
for testing.  So it would be "patch --strip 1 --dry-run < file.patch",
where file.patch is what was downloaded from the upstream bug report.
If that works, repeat again without the --dry-run.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Brian]

@James- Thanks, I can do the compile and build easy enough. Only
question I have then is for the patch, is there an automated way to
apply it to the file? I do not have experience in applying changes in
this manner, but I can always just change the code. Just hoping to learn
more here so I can participate better in the future.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[James Cameron]

G'day Brian.  Yes, it needs to be compiled in.  Download the Ubuntu
source package, apply the patch, build the package, then install it.  If
you've not done that before, you may find it quite complicated.  You
might enable deb-src entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then
"apt-get update", then "apt-get source abiword", then apply the patch,
then install build dependencies with "apt-get build-dep abiword", then
build with "dpkg-buildpackage", then install with "dpkg -i".  There are
different ways to do all this, but that's the simplest I can think of.
Sorry, I didn't keep the result.

[Brian]

@James- I am sorry, but could you provide a bit of direction on applying
that fix? I understand the + and - aspect, but unsure of where/how to
apply that. My install was just done through package manager, I wonder
if this fix needs to be compiled in?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[James Cameron]

G'day Brian!  Yes, the theme workaround began not working for me with
17.04.  Yes, the problem can come and go with any changes to the
hardware, kernel, X server, or libraries.  There is a fix that makes the
situation a lot better, see my post last week on the upstream bug
https://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13791#c46 (attachment
5839).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Brian]

I am running Ubuntu Zesty 17.04 and have this flickering issue. The
above fix of changing the theme does nothing to correct the issue. I was
using 16.10 prior and did not have this problem. Only after the upgrade
did this start to happen. Is there any update on a possible fix for
this?

[hans-erik sigra]

add to grub, radeon.dpm=1, according to this link

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#Testing_the_driver
makes flickering slower but it does not stop.
GLX version 1.4 and AMD RV710

I changed grub as xorg used high cpu, when opening abi documents.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[James Cameron]

Uwe, do you have a method to reproduce flickering with the
GTK_THEME=adwaita?

Even so, the workaround is a major improvement, and the best we have, so
I'll add it to my OLPC derivative of the Ubuntu sugar-write-activity
package.  http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/y/1bkIWb.txt

[Uwe Geuder]

I wrote:

  I can confirm [...] the effectiveness of the work-around
"GTK_THEME=adwaita abiword".

With some more testing I have to qualify that statement a bit: With the
adwaita theme the behaviour is clearly improved compared to the default.
I have not seen text flickering so far. But the cursor still flickers a
bit and sometimes disappears completely until some new text is entered.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Rafael Laguna]

Yes, but we can't force an app to use a custom theme, modifying all Ubuntu
distros as a workaround, instead of actually fixing the problem. Apps must
use any theme.

I can confirm both the original flickering and the effectiveness of the

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text

[Julien Lavergne]

According to upstream bug, it's a gtk 3.18 bug which Abiword triggered.
An update to 3.20 fix the issue, which is the case on yakkety. To fix
the bug on 16.04, we have to find the correct gtk fix (which may not be
that easy).
