[Desktop-packages] [Bug 335662] Re: [jaunty] hplip status service cannot find system tray

2018-07-20 Thread JLuc
I still have this issue with Ubuntu 18.04 and hplip 3.17.10
I've updated the delay before trying the tray to 45' so it takes 45' before the 
error dialog pops up... but it still does.

  Hi

  While copying many and large files to and from a USB drive, the system
  becomes incredibly slow and sometimes hangs. I watched the system
  monitor while it was running slowly but cpu was not above 50% at any
  time, the same for memory.

  I'm using the "WD my passport" HD with a USB3 port of my "ASUS K55VD"
  laptop.

  Description:  Ubuntu 13.04

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Aquire many large files (like your totally legit moviecollection)
  2) Copy files to external HD
  3) Open your browser and be sad when your system becomes incredibly slow 
after a few minutes

I have issues also when drag'n'droping files from a nautilus window to
one of its subfolders (or any other place).

AMOF sometimes it works after 1 minutes of silent-doing-nothing. And
since i have requested the same operation several times in the while, it
also issues errors (maybe because the files have allready been moved at
last and arent there anymore).

  This bug is fixed in unity-3d since ubuntu 11.04.
  It still exists in unity-2d and will never be fixed as unity-2d is no longer 
supported since ubuntu 12.10 (see comment #343).

  *

  This should mostly be fixed for Natty and might get backported to
  earlier releases as well.

  For Precise (12.04)  this is again broken for unity-2d (as of 17.7.2012 
unity-2d 5.12.0-0ubuntu1.1).
  Note that if the window has a scrollbar, you can grab that to resize the 
window. If not, you are stuck with the 1px border. Workaround: NONE KNOWN (see 
comment 320)?

  *

  *Blueprint for Natty, Ubuntu 11.04:

  https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/packageselection-
  dx-n-resizing-windows

  Work items1 * Make sure the new resize grip fits in current applications; 
doesn't interfere with anything. We should make some noise about this during 
the Natty cycle so people keep their eyes open and file bugs.
  2 * Invisible window resize area - around 3px invisible area to allow resize 
on all sides.

  *

  Working grip backported to gtk2 already available in ppa :
  https://launchpad.net/~bratsche/+archive/gtk

  *

  Workaround for Compiz/Unity: Alt+Middlemousebutton resizes a window
  most comfortably.

  Workaround:  Edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/metacity-
  theme-1.xml.  Set the following values in frame_geometry_normal as
  desired:

  
  
  

  

  Binary package hint: metacity

  - The issue has been an issue for users (especially of large) screens
  for several releases- Trackpad users seem to be particularly impacted
  by this- The issue appears to have been significantly aggravated in
  Lucid by changing the border width from 3 pixels to 1 pixel

  The window borders in metacity are far too thin to be used for
  comfortable window resizing, and resize handles are not available in
  all applications (or even most). In fact, of all the windows I have
  open right now, not a single one of them has a resize handle. The
  result is that I get a lot of "misses" when I try to drag a window
  border, which usually results in my clicking on the wrong window
  altogether. The best fix for this usability bug is to create an
  "invisible" region around each non-maximized window about 4px thick
  that can be used for resizing (in addition to the visible border). Or
  perhaps there should be a border thickness option on the System >
  Preferences > Windows dialog (although the default thickness should
  still be increased considerably). Ideally all windows would also have
  a resize handle but I realize that these have to be application
  controlled (at least that seems to be the position of the metacity
  team).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 956618]

2014-09-06 Thread JLuc
I have a quite large email adress book : 525 "collected adresses" and
15000 "personnal adresses". My colleagues have a less large email adress
book but both my thunderbird and my coworker's thunderbird is badly
impacted with the new TB31 email autocompletion behaviour.

- it sometimes does not lead to any result and leaves the typed begining of the 
email as is, without autocompleting it. Ex : when typing 'secret' and TAB, TB 
leaves 'secret' instead of completing to 'secretar...@domain.ext'
- it sometimes require to type allmost the whole email before the 
autocompletion gives a result : we sometime have to type 'secretariat@' so as 
to get 'secretar...@domain.ext'
- it sometimes leads to bad results. When typing 'secret' TB autocompletes to 
'redact...@domain.ext' for some unknown reason (or because it got the same 
doamine name )

Please revert to previous satisfying behaviour or fix new behaviour !!!

2013-07-14 Thread JLuc
With current 12.04 LTS  it is impossible to grab the border or the
corner of the window at first time. Maybe my screen is too big (20") so
it makes the border too thin. It takes many try to manage to get it.
Spending so much time just to resize a window is all the more painfull
since i want to concentrate on my work, not on such basic UI actions.

Bug description:
  This bug is fixed in unity-3d since ubuntu 11.04.
  It still exists in unity-2d and will never be fixed as unity-2d is no longer 
supported since ubuntu 12.10 (see comment #343).

  *

  This should mostly be fixed for Natty and might get backported to
  earlier releases as well.

  For Precise (12.04)  this is again broken for unity-2d (as of 17.7.2012 
unity-2d 5.12.0-0ubuntu1.1).
  Note that if the window has a scrollbar, you can grab that to resize the 
window. If not, you are stuck with the 1px border. Workaround: NONE KNOWN (see 
comment 320)?

  *Blueprint for Natty, Ubuntu 11.04:

  dx-n-resizing-windows

  Work items1 * Make sure the new resize grip fits in current applications; 
doesn't interfere with anything. We should make some noise about this during 
the Natty cycle so people keep their eyes open and file bugs.
  2 * Invisible window resize area - around 3px invisible area to allow resize 
on all sides.

  *

  Working grip backported to gtk2 already available in ppa :

  Workaround for Compiz/Unity: Alt+Middlemousebutton resizes a window
  most comfortably.

  Workaround:  Edit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/metacity-
  theme-1.xml.  Set the following values in frame_geometry_normal as
  desired:

  
  
  

  

  Binary package hint: metacity

  - The issue has been an issue for users (especially of large) screens
  for several releases- Trackpad users seem to be particularly impacted
  by this- The issue appears to have been significantly aggravated in
  Lucid by changing the border width from 3 pixels to 1 pixel

  The window borders in metacity are far too thin to be used for
  comfortable window resizing, and resize handles are not available in
  all applications (or even most). In fact, of all the windows I have
  open right now, not a single one of them has a resize handle. The
  result is that I get a lot of "misses" when I try to drag a window
  border, which usually results in my clicking on the wrong window
  altogether. The best fix for this usability bug is to create an
  "invisible" region around each non-maximized window about 4px thick
  that can be used for resizing (in addition to the visible border). Or
  perhaps there should be a border thickness option on the System >
  Preferences > Windows dialog (although the default thickness should
  still be increased considerably). Ideally all windows would also have
  a resize handle but I realize that these have to be application
  controlled (at least that seems to be the position of the metacity
  team).
