Package: budgie-desktop Version: 10.5.2-3 Followup-For: Bug #990678 X-Debbugs-Cc: pascal.mart...@gmx.fr
Dear Maintainer, I had the opportunity to use software in Budgie recently and even made (quick) tests with most of the applications I have on my PC. So I came again across those same bugs about window displaying. Those bugs come unexpectedly, they happen rarely now, but they still DO happen. Apart from MPV, of which I abundantly talked about here above, the first striking and undeniable bug I came across was with QuteBrowser. It's a nice browser I use when Firefox is not quick enough. When quitting it (by clicking the x close button upright or typing <Ctrl+q> I don't remember, though it may be important) the window apparently stayed open and the "cleverly hidden" Budgie tool bar/panel reappeared. In fact QuteBrowser was really shut and the desktop should have been displayed instead, which it did when I refreshed the screen. Of all the applications I tested, all seemed to work fine (they generally do) except DevHelp. In that program too, the menu window "Shortcuts" generally doesn't display as being shut when in fact it is. At that point, the least thing you do that refreshes the screen makes things come to normal, and all visible evidence of the bug is gone. For example pressing the <Super> key (MS-Windows key), <Alt+Tab>, making a screenshot, etc. So if we act too quickly we always miss those bugs, the more so as they generally come unnoticed, and fortunately much more rarely than they did a few months ago. So we notice the bug by stopping our work, because what we see on the screen is not understandable : We close a window and it is still there, we move a window and we don't see it move. Then we refresh the screen and the closed window has gone and the moved window has moved. That problem of windows that can't be moved, I observed again with Abiword. Abiword is a program I like a lot but it is not heavily maintained / updated. Now, rather often, the menu windows seem to close correctly but they move badly. You grab a window to move it and nothing happens (unlike MPV where you see some kind of transparent window frame moving). That window seems to be frozen. When you refresh the screen you see that it had effectively moved, invisibly. Since things have improved with Budgie these last months, if little or nothing has been done about these window bugs, the improvement may have come from the Gnome updates, so what updates and when ? And why do those bugs not happen everytime, as generally expected from a bug ? Is it some kind of Budgie screen refreshment, compositor / display server problem ? Just asking to help, I could do no more alas ! So I wanted to report this quickly, not waiting for new evidence, because of the expected Debian 11 stable. I read things about a possible date release but I wouldn't risk to repeat it, Debian's policy of "It is ready when it is ready" is surely the best one. Please excuse my verbosity, it's a personal shortcoming ;) and I want to be as clear and precise as possible.
