Title:
appindicator extension slows down GUI spamming the log with
"[AppIndicatorSupport-FATAL] unable to lookup icon ..." or "Impossible
to lookup icon"
Status in Ubuntu AppIndicators:
Unknown
Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator source package in Focal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Using discord application, causes the shell to slowdown and trigger
lots of "unable to lookup icon ..." errors
[ Test case ]
Install discord app:
- snap install discord
Run it, starting a call seems to trigger it more
[ Regression potential ]
Icons may not be loaded properly, there may be delays between a good
icon and an invalid one (and vice-versa).

Updated bug #1817073 about this, but it's not really the same since
this does not crash the shell fully.
When speaking in discord there is supposed to be an icon change on the
appindicator and logs spam me with [AppIndicatorSupport-FATAL] unable
to lookup icon for discord1_40.
The whole desktop freezes for a moment when talking in discord if the
appindicator package is installed.
Easily reproduced by joining a voice channel in discord and just doing stuff
in the gnome ui, watching a video or whatever while talking.
This is pretty bad since it leaves no choice but to uninstall gnome-
shell-extension-appindicator and loosing that functionality if people
wants to use discord on ubuntu.
This is also reported on the extensions github page:
https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/171
https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/157
Someone also made a video on youtube showing the problem:
