[Bug 1618640] [NEW] OpenShot 2.1 unusable (suspected focus issue) on LM 17.3 Xfce (Ubuntu 14.04 base)

 

Public bug reported:

I just upgraded to the latest openshot version which I installed from
the ppa (http://ppa.launchpad.net/openshot.developers/ppa/ubuntu/
trusty/main amd64 Packages)

What I got when I tried it out seems to be a focus problem with the
tutorials bubble.

After starting the application, the 'bubble' with the tutorial flickered
continuously, and did not react to clicks on its buttons.

CPU load skyrocketed.

While I drag the openshot window, the CPU load goes down, and the
flickering stops.

Alt+Tab to switch applications did not work anymore, because the
tutorial thing appears to steal the focus.

I was able to load a gif file, though, once. After this, openshot did
not react to any further clicks I made in its interface.

Closing the application via the window decoration buttons works,
fortunately.

Is there a workaround to deactivate the tutorials, via some preference
setting, maybe? Could be that would be all that's needed for openshot to
at least be usable.

System info:
============

64bit, LM 17.3 Xfce, openshot ppa version:
2.1.0+0+668+103+201608300650~ubuntu14.04.1, no ffmpeg, no libavcodec (as
far as I could find).

$ apt-cache policy libavcodec
libavcodec54         libavcodec-dev       libavcodec-extra     libavcodec-extra-54  

$ apt-cache policy libavcodec54
libavcodec54:
  Installiert:           (keine)
  Installationskandidat: 6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

$ apt-cache policy melt
melt:

Thanks!
