[Bug 1376243] Re: Intermitent freeze of window, goes grey when changing workspaces in awesomevm

 

For some reason, this seems to be related to awesomewm because loging
out and trying firefox out in gnome doesn't seem to freeze the same way.
At some point I got an error message saying "Firefox is not responding
wait or kill"  but it's been working ok since.

I still have a huge load time on thunderbird. Is there a way to move
this bug to awesomevm ?

Title:
  Intermitent freeze of window, goes grey when changing workspaces in
  awesomevm

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is probably a gtk bug but I don't know on whih package I should
  put it.  The main application on which I encounter this bug is
  fireworfirefox so amposting it here.

  Every few seconds or few minutes I get a freeze on firefox. At first I
  thought it was just on videos (and the sound keeps on going) but as a
  matter of fact it's the whole window even when not showing a video.
  For example, as am I typing this, twice since I began, the text stops
  showing, I keep on typing and then it appears.

  I am using awesomewm as a window manager but I doubt the bug is there.
  The QT apps are running fine. My thunderbird is even more freeze prone
  that my firefox (for example openning a new mail window is really
  slow). Sometimes when I click on a menu it will take time to appear
  and then if I change workspaces it will appear on the other
  workspaces.

  I thought it might be
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/1142213 or
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-
  oxygen/+bug/963736 but nothing fixed it. I tried disabling addons but
  with no luck.

  Am running trusty. This is becoming a blocking issue for me and would
  greatly appreciate tips on how to debug it and fix it.
