** Description changed:
- I had similar issues when 20.04 was released, then it disappeared with
- an upgrade - but sadly it's back. I have short intermittent freezings of
- the OS. About every 15-30 seconds Ubunut freezes for a second or two. Eg
- when writing this description, the OS freezes every second word. When
- the freeze goes away the OS is snappy. I have tried switching between
- Wayland and Xorg - but the problem persists. If I write something when
- it freezes up the last chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhharacter will be
- replicated many times - like what happened
- jusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst now. This problem did not show up in
- ubuntu 18.04 through 19.10. Hope U can
- fix this soon - using my laptop in unbearable.
+ [ Impact ]
- ProblemType: Bug
- DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04
+ Indicators using (big) pixmap icons cause the shell to use a lot of CPU
+ computation, which interfere with user experience
+
+
+ [ Test case ]
+
+ - Install mega client from https://mega.nz/sync
+ - Run it in ubuntu and ensure it doesn't block the UI while syncing
+ (but even opening/closing the app should be enough to trigger
+
+ Alternatively use this test tool:
+
https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/blob/master/indicator-test-tool/testTool.js
+
+ Launch it with `gjs` and select the 'Crazy icons updates' menu item:
+ - The shell should not hang
+
+ [ Regression potential ]
+
+ Icon updates may be late or not apply immediately (or at all).
