Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When opening a modal dialog from a java application in a gnome desktop
that uses nautilus, nautilus collects all the java app windows into a
single icon/entry in the gnome toolbar. When the dialog is dismissed,
the gnome toolbar shows again a single icon/entry for each window of the
java app.
The removal of window entries in the gnome toolbar repaints the toolbar
each time (and I can see it removing the entries one by one) and can
take from under a second to 10 seconds or more when having hundreds of
windows open.
The archetypical java app with hundreds of windows is ImageJ, a public-
domain application for scientific image processing of widespread use.
If I understood it correctly, the behaviour of the gnome desktop, that
of collecting all windows into one when there is a modal dialog showing,
is to prevent the selection/manipulation of other windows of the same
app.
It would be ideal if:
- the gnome toolbar did a single repaint, potentially eliminating all the lag
without compromising the functionality.
- the gnome toolbar just marked each window entry as inactive instead of
removing it.
The current delay seriously disrupts usability.
