Impacting OLPC. Reproduced using Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial amd64 iso booted as live-image, plus universe, with abiword_3.0.1-6ubuntu0.16.04.1 from xenial-updates.
Workaround: switch from Ambiance to High Contrast theme. Also affects package sugar-write-activity_97-5 which depends on package gir1.2-abiword-3.0 and thus libabiword-3.0. In my testing, the draw signal from Abi.Widget is constantly emitted by Gtk as soon as the first text is added to an empty document. The consequent Gdk redraws cause cursor and screen flicker, the severity of which scales with window size, graphics card, and CPU performance. Related bug https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915 for abiword 3.0.1 on Fedora 24 combined with the Sugar Write activity. So it would seem this is a problem introduced in Gtk or Abiword. I'm available to collaborate on this problem at depth. Contact qu...@laptop.org, thanks. ** Bug watch added: bugs.sugarlabs.org/ #4915 http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574278 Title: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1574278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
