[Bug 687567] Re: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus
I solved this bug by disabling the Animations plugin in Compiz . I think it related to (type=Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | Combo | Dialog | ModalDialog | Normal) Fade effect setup in that window of configuration. I found a handy way for debugging Compiz problems is by disabling a plugin at a time, then wait for 10 seconds or more for the action to take effect and move on to the next one until I see some changes.

Others desktop should be reference for responsiveness in Ubuntu. Nobody has the answer why Compiz works extremely fast and responsive only on Mandriva GNOME and no other distribution, there is something in Mandriva that outputs such smooth and responsive desktop effects and frame rates. Put them side by side and you'll see what I'm talking about. You have to examine xorg.conf, nux and theme engines, not Compiz. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687567 Title: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/687567/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 687567] Re: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus
Pako, this bug was Ubuntu-specific because it was caused by Unity. Compiz in general has numerous performance problems that we are aiming to fix in time for Ubuntu 12.04. Early testing suggests that Compiz in Ubuntu 12.04 will be extremely fast and responsive. Though the only difference between Compiz in Ubuntu 11.10 and Mandriva I can suggest is bug 861061 which is a performance issue caused by Unity. You can read about some of the performance issues we aim to fix here: Bug #92599: Incorrect (low/stuttering) refresh rate with NVIDIA driver Bug #755841: [sandybridge] Graphics tearing when playing video Bug #798868: unity video tearing when moving windows in oneiric with nvidia-current Bug #876575: Moving windows between workspaces causes them to jitter / jump around Bug #880707: [regression] Visible tearing is worse in 11.10 than 11.04, even when Sync To VBlank is enabled, but only when Unity is active.

I tried the updated unity from daniels ppa, but since i run a gnome classic session, i wasn't sure if/how the fix would affect me. And sure enough, this fix only covers unity, which of course begs the question - isn't that a clear indication that the problem lies deeper than that, perhaps in gtk/metacity/compis/dbusmenu itself? The *menubar* flickers when new windows are opened, in fact, if you remove the indicator applet appmenu from the gnome-panel, you can still see the flicker and menu repainting itself in the application window (of say nautilus, that never used to flicker like that) when new windows are spawned. Also, the drop downs from the menubar (when scrubbing it) causes flicker (both with indicator applet appmenu, and in-window menu).

[Bug 687567] Re: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus
You can see similar flashes in some apps if you have a fade-out effect set for closing windows. Closing Thunderbird you see the same kind of white flash as this bug discusses. Closing Chrome you see the client/page area similarly flash to black while the window fades out. At a guess, it looks like the flashing is the result of windows, or sub-windows, being explicitly unmapped by the application before they're destroyed. So I doubt this is actually a bug in the compiz effects, but the apps themselves, including the code that renders indicator menus, need to be made to not unmap their windows if they're being destroyed anyway. That might stop this problem from occurring.

Closing Thunderbird you see the same kind of white flash as this bug discusses. Closing Chrome you see the client/page area similarly flash to black while the window fades out. At a guess, it looks like the flashing is the result of windows, or sub-windows, being explicitly unmapped by the application before they're destroyed. So I doubt this is actually a bug in the compiz effects, but the apps themselves, including the code that renders indicator menus, need to be made to not unmap their windows if they're being destroyed anyway. That might stop this problem from occurring. Just a theory. Compiz uses the last bound pixmap to texture in animations for windows that have been unmapped or destroyed. If the application calls XClearArea () before being unmapped then compiz will use the last bound pixmap, which may be white. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity Bugs, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687567 Title: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I open menu in some application and then move mouse fast to the left or right so different items are expanded I see ugly white flash before content of the menu is rendered.

Re: comment #39 I can reproduce the Chrome black flash under KDE's Kwin, but not the Thunderbird flash to white. In fact, I've never seen anything flash to white during the fade-out effects in Kwin.

Problem behavior still exists. Tested with both nVidia (nonfree-bin driver) and intel systems running fully up to date Natty beta2 installs.

[Bug 687567] Re: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus
Most of the flashing is due to the animation plugin that triggers an effect when a menu closes. Scrubing the menubar create a rapid succession of those effects and products the artifacts. If the fade on close option is removed from the animation plugin, the artifacts go away. We can't workaround either the animation or suppress it now, unless we change the design requirement to have fade on close. ** Changed in: unity Assignee: Loïc Molinari (loic.molinari) = (unassigned) ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Assignee: Loïc Molinari (loic.molinari) = (unassigned) ** Changed in: unity Milestone: 3.8.8 = backlog -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687567 Title: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't think the flashing is due to the fade animation at all. With no fade effect it is still possible to see the white flashes. For some reason, a blank surface is being created on opening a menu, only to be destroyed and replaced with the actual menu - the fade effect only makes it more obvious because it takes 50ms to complete, and disabling it improves the appearance of the desktop, but this is just a workaround, not the cause of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687567 Title: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 687567] Re: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus
My testing reveals thats this is not specific to the menubar. Menu's in general are slow under Unity whether they are in the panel or right click menus inside an application window, that causes application slowness which is very much notable on slower devices like netbooks. also (this might not be related to this bug) dialogs inside an application are slow to appear when compared to the classic desktop all in all there is certainly something wrong in the picture that is causing the slowness. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/687567 Title: Global menu causes white flashes when scrubbing/moving with mouse fast over menus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
