The smooth scroll bug covers it mostly, but some specifics might use separate bug reports. At least the following come to mind right away: - You can see the photos/images being drawn, and they flicker from time to time when the scrolling stops. - Keeping arrow down pressed feels laggy, both because of the low update rate, lack of smooth scrolling and visible lag of drawing the images. - With mouse wheel scroll, the initial responsiveness feel snappier than with keyboard, but the application may easily become unresponsive for 2-10 seconds on my machine at least (Core 2 Duo 2.5GHz) - When you send a message, the lag when pressing Send seems to be gone in 3.3.91, although there is still no feedback of the actual sending until it's fetched from the remote server (user needs to just trust that it's being sent) Some are performance issues, some are simply about additional code needed for giving immediate visible feedback/animation/transition on all actions user may do. But in principle the truly "smooth scrolling" covers already fixing so many things, that after that the rest will be comparatively minor UI enhancements to reduce the perceived lagginess. I now filed bug #955747 [1] for the feedback wishlist item. -Timo [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/955747 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

I don't know if Timo means the same what I do, but "laggy" is usually used when the time between an action (e.g. mouseclick, scrolling wheel turn) and a reaction is noticeably high. A really quick search (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber?field.searchtext=slow) shows for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927494 - Slow gwibber in general https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828593 - Scrolling slow Cheers, Andreas signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Controlling menubar title on Ubuntu 11.10?
(I initially sent this to ubuntu-devel, but it didn't make it through.)
Hello.
I wrote an application that, at startup, prompts the user for a file
(using a standard "open file" dialog). Ubuntu 11.10 takes the title of
that dialog ("Choose the file you wish to play") and uses it for the
rest of the application's session. This is wrong of course. The menu
bar should display the application's name.
Is there a way I can control the title of the menu bar?
The GUI of the application is written using Qt.

Sure it's the good ol' laggy Gwibber, but at some point earlier it regressed in usability for me so far that I stopped using it. Now it seems to be back on track, and hopefully indeed the four bugs mentioned in the original post will see themselves fixed at some point. -Timo -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

In which case, could you please give specific, concrete examples of exactly which bits of the code are terrible by design so that somebody can fix it. Perhaps you could even provide patches for the parts that you found are terrible.
