[Bug 1050701] Re: [SRU regression] Slight UI lag after updating to Unity 5.16

 

Removing this from the 7.3.3 milestone as it seems this only affects
Unity on 12.04.  Even that, I'm not sure if 12.04 is still affected, but
will keep that task open for now.

** Changed in: unity
    Milestone: 7.3.3 => None

** Changed in: unity
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

** Changed in: unity
       Status: Fix Released => Invalid

Title:
  [SRU regression] Slight UI lag after updating to Unity 5.16

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in Unity 5.0 series:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been using Unity 5.14. Today, I saw that Unity 5.16 was available
  in the -proposed repository. It greatly improved my 3d, but I noticed
  that things such as typing, dragging windows, using scrollbars, etc,
  have a slight and noticeable delay. I've rebooted to rule out any
  version clash issues.

  Reproduce:

  1) Enable -proposed
  2) Install the new Unity update (5.16)
  3) Restart lightdm (sudo service lightdm restart) and log into a Unity session
  4) Drag any window/scrollbar, highlight text, input text into a field, etc.
  5) Notice that there's a delay between when you perform the action to when the action takes place (you can see the window/scrollbar trying to catch up to your cursor, for example)

  Definitely related to the new Unity version, since I didn't have this
  issue until I applied this update. I haven't made any changes to
  anything graphics-related that would cause this to happen.
