Here is a debdiff backporting the fix. ** Description changed:
- Steps to reproduce: + [Impact] + Users running a Qt application with a systemtray icon which updates its icon frequently to produce an animation will get unity-panel-service to use all CPU. + This is because sni-qt continuously generate new images for the icon which unity-panel-service has to decode. + Skype is an example of application which triggers this bug. + + [Development Fix] + Bug has been fixed upstream in sni-qt 0.2.6 by computing md4sums of the icon pixels, making it possible to reuse existing images instead of always generating new ones. + + [Stable Fix] + debdiff attached to this report backports revision 88.1.4 of upstream, implementing the md4sum. + + [Test Case] 1) Open Skype 2) Disconnect from internet. Skype icon starts to animate 3) Notice Skype unity-panel-service starts eating up the CPU and often making indicator menus unresponsive or lag like Ubuntu is running on a 200mhz cpu + + [Regression Potential] + No regression expected. The fix has been tested from a PPA for a while now. ** Patch added: "debdiff for sni-qt_0.2.5-0ubuntu3" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sni-qt/+bug/865601/+attachment/2572585/+files/sni-qt_0.2.5-0ubuntu3.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865601 Title: Animating Icon eats up CPU and slows dows unity-panel-service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/sni-qt/+bug/865601/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
