** Description changed: - On Ubuntu 20.04, a search delay of about one second was introduced (regression compared to Ubuntu 19.10). - v2.4.4 of xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin fixes this, in particular this commit: https://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/commit/?h=v2.4.4&id=4436c526050c4234734577f266ab79e44987b7d0 - I verified this by manually applying the linked patch. - There don't seem to be any changes in 2.4.3 -> 2.4.4 other than this fix and translation updates, so it seems safe to update. + [Impact] + On Ubuntu 20.04, a search delay was introduced (regression compared to Ubuntu 19.10) with the intent of reducing search results. This caused slower search updates and was reported to xfce bugzilla: + https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16731 + + v2.4.4 of xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin reverts the delay, in particular this + commit: https://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-whiskermenu- + plugin/commit/?h=v2.4.4&id=4436c526050c4234734577f266ab79e44987b7d0 + + [Test Case] + Rapidly type in the search box and note how long the results take to update. + + [Regression Potential] + Low. There are no changes in upstream 2.4.3 -> 2.4.4 other than this fix and translation updates. In addition, Ubuntu 20.10/Groovy and Debian unstable already use version 2.4.4, and no regressions have been reported, so it seems safe to update.
