Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I am on a relatively clean Intrepid installation (installed from scratch 1
month ago).
I am using a Dell desktop computer, with a multimedia keyboard.
Rhythmbox freezes very often when, while its windows has focus, I use my
keyboard's sound volume wheel. Usually, many other GTK applications I've
open freeze as well. I use a Qt editor and it seems unaffected. Firefox
also freezes less often than other apps.
This only happens with accessibility enabled.
How to reproduce:
- enable accessibility, logout and login.
- start rhythmbox (optionally start some other gtk app)
- bring rhythmbox windows on focus
- turn your volume wheel one way or another for 1-2 secs.
(note: crashes very often just adjusting the volume slightly, overloading is
just a way to reproduce the bug)
Expect behaviour:
- sound volume change immediately without affecting other apps
What happens:
- Rhythmbox freezes.
- 1 or 2 other apps you have open freeze.
What to do when that happens:
- wait. After a minute or two, your computer will eventually catchup
Output on console:
- None
To be honest, I am not sure if it's only rhythmbox fault. I generally
feel gnome much less stable with accessibility turned on.
