[Bug 501760] Re: Dock disappears, CPU usage goes to 100%

 

Yes, I'm using auto-hide functionality of the CD (auto hide on window is
maximized).

After some more investigation I found out that issue is reproducible for
me only on combination of hidden dock and tooltip showed. Issues is
reproducible on both OpenGL and no OpenGL modes. Also issue is
reproducible with all plugins disabled.

What is interesting I can't reproduce this issue with CD tooltips from
firefox.

Bug description:
Cairo Dock version 2.1.2-4
Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit
Using CD with OpenGL
Bug occurs on multiple systems: Laptop with NVidia 6600 graphics, Eee PC with Intel graphics 

I have auto-hide enabled.  Sometimes the dock disappears (refuses to un-hide), and CPU usage spikes to 100% causing a massive system slow-down and spike in CPU temperature, and I must kill cairo-dock.  I have not isolated what user actions cause this.  It seems to happen randomly, but it frequently occurs immediately after a dialog box appears while the dock is hiding, or is in the process of hiding (for example a message notification from Empathy).  This has happened to me on two different laptops with different graphics chips, so it can't be a driver problem.  

I will attempt to follow up with debug info if I can catch it.
