It doesn't seem to do it under Kubuntu Natty/KDE 4.6.3 either.  This
bug has been a plague for many years.

One of the users marked it as Fix Released.  The bug attached to the
report is not on the official list of fixes for 3.0.11, but users report
the issue is gone.

Upstream was going to add this to .10 however .10 ended up being a major
regression fix so they planed on .11 it says this early in the bug. Has

That is a bit tricky since 3.0* is stable, and as i recall we are
letting upstream patch it but most likely in 3.5/3.6 Alexander would be
the one to decide that since it doesnt fit under SRU. It is a fairly bad
bug but its not a security risk so theres no garentee that we can add it
to 3.0* I will ping him a bit later and see what he says about patching it.

> Alexander, what's your definition of a "slow system"?
Memory is the most important.
I bought 2 bargain Tecra 8000 with 256 KB max for kids to run Xfce4.
I finally found that Gnome could run too @400 MHz up to some limit.
Firefox makes the highest memory usage and is the limit.
(no other program I use, eg Gimp, is such a bottleneck)
FF seems to overuse (probably fragment) virtual memory over time.
When that happens, thrashing starts.
Thrashing is page swapping preventing normal use of the CPU.
It can last from a few to sometimes 15 seconds or even more.
If Firefox is stopped/restarted, it runs fast for some more time.
(I mean restarting the same pages, of course)

In contrast, I used a 512 MB 850 MHz WITHOUT SWAP for some time.
Even Firefox would run very decently in that config.
Which, of course, is thrashing-free.

When thrashing occurs, the mouse movements are jerky.
Mouse management seems to be slowed down.

So, if you want to make yourself a slow system...
Boot with mem=256M on the kernel command.

2009-02-09 Thread André Pirard
It may be related or it may not, but it's worth noticing, might be 
easier to reproduce and might shed some light.
On a loaded system again, I clicked to close the right one of the many 
tabs of a FF window.
The tab didn't close fast enough and, I know that I shouldn't, I clicked 
a second time.
Two tabs closed.
Hence, an action was taken on an object that wasn't yet visible at the 
place I clicked.
This is contrary to instinctive expectation.
It's a lookalike of this bug, but lookalikes may have the same solution.

Extending my "test extension" (JavaScript!) to report the size and position of

show that everything is correct. (Yes! The popup is there!)

Right ... thats the current understanding. Also I somehow have the
feeling that this happens because the focus gets auto moved to the
none-existing popup. The randomness could be explained by a overflow
given that the actual popup size is still zero.

I tried to fix the state so its not in state open until the frames
have been created asychronously. However, this didnt help. OTOH, there
was a second bug with the accessibility code that could have made this
fix unvoid. I will try it again now that the accessibility fix has
landed.

Thanks. I will check this one. Please post that info to the upstream

Thats not the root cause. Its just that the problem is triggered by
mouse down click, but in general it shouldnt make a different whether
thats mouse down or up or click. Its probably just easier to reproduce
with one of those methods than the other.

The root cause as of now seems to be the asynchronous creation of menu
popup frames in the gecko engine. Somehow the click event gets
redirected to a not yet created frameset which seem to trigger a click
on a random menu entry because the menu items are not yet properly
mapped to screen.

That's very strange.  It has been agreed that the problem stems from the 
fact that the right-click event is taken on mouse down (instead of mouse 
up as usually) and that mouse up is treated as a possible left click of 
an albeit invisible context menu entry.
Some criticized the same behavior on the desktop too (in Nautilus).
If such sorts of inconsistent mouse up actions were banned, it would be 
things solved.

If you watch right clicking with Mouse Gestures, you'll see exactly 
that. Keep mouse down as long as you want,  the right-click will only be 
effective when you release the button.   Where could a stray left click 
come from, then?

Not denying what you say, but thinking it over which is the good way to 
approach the solution.  Do you sometimes click-a-di-click (multiple 
clicks)?  Shouldn't, should wait.  In contrast with other systems, Linux 
always remembers clicks and that may be over 10 seconds of an overload 
later (just met a few doubtful exceptions in 2 years).

In all sincerity, it seems like others reporting this same problem will help
to get it fixed. Even if it is only through enlarging the testing pool.
I do have frustration with the bug but my desire is to get it moving in a
positive direction for solution. Up to now it seems like it has had several
mis-steps through incomplete descriptions of what is happening.

So please explain why these comments are not useful tools?

Thanx

Well, the problem can manifest itself in so many different ways, from a
right-click perspective, it is not surprising that it has not gotten more
attention yet. Hopefully this will change soon.

Please report back on whether the gestures kludged-it for you.

I understand what you are saying, but all of these machines were on Ubuntu
8.04 previously (and FF3.x to the best of my knowledge,) and now, on 8.10,
the problem materializes.  This finding goes against what you have seen.

Also, on another note, I have installed the gestures plug-in (
http://www.xuldev.org/firegestures/) and it does seem to fix the problem
without forcing me to use gestures.  Just thinking out of the box, it seems
to me that there is a common unit in all of these... how the mouse is
handled.

Thanx!
