[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text
Sorry Simon, I had already tested my patch with my own local package, I didn't think you'd need me to test your package of it, and I'm hoping to hear if anybody else has tested it. ;-) On a 17.10 Artful VM with Sugar, the Sugar desktop does not appear, some other problem, so I'm not able to test there yet. On a 17.04 Zesty VM with Sugar, installed your libabiword-3.0_3.0.2-3ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb and the flickering problem has gone. So your package works for me there. Any chance of a 16.04 Xenial update?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text
Thanks for the bump, I'd forgotten to update this bug. I found the cause of the problem and fixed it for systems using Xorg. It was a race condition, and is affected by speed of computer, speed of graphics, other processes, and theme drawing. That's why it may not happen for some people. You can find my patch in the upstream bug report https://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13791 and my summary at Sugar Labs https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/4915 I'll be shipping the fix on the laptops we make at One Laptop per Child. However, my fix was not tested on Wayland and caused AbiWord to fail differently under Wayland, and upstream (correctly) refused to accept the patch as is, and nobody seems to have done anything since. I'm not using Wayland, and I'm not paid to support Wayland, so I'm unable to easily work further on the problem. But if any of you really need it to work using Xorg (e.g. Lubuntu), my patch should be fine, and I'm happy to explain what the problem was in detail. Upstream would obviously benefit from someone who can program C++ with GTK+ on both Xorg and Wayland. If this is you, please offer to help them. It has been almost two years since this problem first began, and it is slowly but surely destroying the usability of AbiWord.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text
I experienced this bug in Lubuntu 16.04, and found it made Abiword unusable. I recently installed Lubuntu 17.04 on a different computer and was disappointed to discover the bug is still present with my fresh installation! That said, I'm not 100% sure my bug is the same as what is reported here.

When I zoom in or out on the document, the same area of the screen flickers. This happens even on an empty document. I think this is the same problem - https://askubuntu.com/questions/818219/abiword-documents-borders-keeps-flashing I tried this: for i in `ls /usr/share/themes`; do echo $i; GTK_THEME="$i" abiword; done It was the same for every theme, including Adwaita.

Re: [Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text
G'day Brian. Good to hear. For local testing, the signing can be ignored; there's an option to skip it. The warnings sound familiar, but are normal. For me, the patch did fix the flickering of the whole screen, but did not fix the flickering cursor.

@James- Thanks for all the help. I went through the steps and in the end, nothing was any different. I was at least able to learn some of the steps used here which I really appreciate. I did not see anything too unusual... there was an error on not being able to sign in the end and many warnings throughout (ex. depreciated items, defined but not used variables, etc), but the build did finish and I was able to verify that the patch applied to the proper file.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text
G'day Brian. The patch command automatically applies a patch to a set of files. The particular patch has a sacrificial path element so the --strip 1 option should be used. The --dry-run option is also useful for testing. So it would be "patch --strip 1 --dry-run < file.patch", where file.patch is what was downloaded from the upstream bug report.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text
G'day Brian. Yes, it needs to be compiled in. Download the Ubuntu source package, apply the patch, build the package, then install it. If you've not done that before, you may find it quite complicated. You might enable deb-src entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then "apt-get update", then "apt-get source abiword", then apply the patch, then install build dependencies with "apt-get build-dep abiword", then build with "dpkg-buildpackage", then install with "dpkg -i".

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1574278] Re: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text
According to upstream bug, it's a gtk 3.18 bug which Abiword triggered. An update to 3.20 fix the issue, which is the case on yakkety. To fix the bug on 16.04, we have to find the correct gtk fix (which may not be that easy). ** Also affects: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: abiword (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: lubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Also affects: abiword (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: lubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: abiword (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574278 Title: AbiWord text cursor starts to flicker after adding some text Status in AbiWord: Invalid Status in abiword package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in lubuntu-artwork package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in abiword source package in Xenial: Invalid Status in gtk+3.0 source package in Xenial: New Status in lubuntu-artwork source package in Xenial: Invalid Bug description: After adding some text in a new document, the entire document (including gray page background, text, text cursor) starts to flicker very fast.
