Dear list,

it has emerged that there is a problem with Cairo 1.10.2-r1 and
Xournal++ that, at least on this system, causes Xournal to frequently
freeze unrecoverably when using any selection tool and selecting more
than a few strokes.

If further info is required please ask so publicly, Andreas can you
provide you with more technical details, I'm merely the person who ran
into it.

It turned out that downgrading to 1.8.10 solved that problem with
freezes but, so I think to have confirmed by now, comes with performance
issues: Often, making strokes or erasing is delayed by up to one second
before visual effects can be seen.

I switched between the two versions 1.8.10 and 1.10.2-r1 a few times and
think that I can by now conclude that

1.10.2-r1 freezes upon selecting
1.8.10 causes performance to degrade

At first, I'd like those with the specific cairo versions to provide
feedback to the list whether you can confirm any of the above behaviour
or possibly reproduce it by changing your version.

Then, not to mention, we all would be happy if someone could think of
the cause for that problem (especially the freeze in 1.10.2, of course)
and how fix it or how to tell the cairo-guys about it in usable detail.

kindly,
a fellow X++ user
