Hi Dimitry! No problem. In fact, I've cherry picked the fix from Qt 5.6 and created an updated package. I'm building it at the moment to test. I'll fill out the SRU template as well, and attach a debdiff if it seems to work OK.
Sorry for not sticking to the SRU procedure to begin with, I know I was a bit busy when I filed this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtbase-opensource-src in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1598173 Title: Please consider SRU of "xcb: Compress mouse motion and touch update events" Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in qtbase-opensource-src source package in Xenial: New Bug description: A fix for QTBUG-40889 was worked out and submitted at https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/115531/ but due to coming in a bit late, was moved to Qt 5.6 https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/126136/ The bug is about mouse motion event compression malfunctioning, and it has grave consequences for some applications, where the flood of events make rendering sluggish (e.g. anything based on VTK, but probably others). ParaView developer Ben Boeckel has tried the patch [2] against 5.5 and confirmed it fixes rendering/interaction in VTK applications. It is not possible to work around the bug at the application level in a satisfactory way, only by resorting to timer-based rendering. I suggest an SRU to patch the Ubuntu Qt package with the patch that was originally meant for the 5.x branch (first URL above). The patch was later integrated in 5.6 where it has been well tested.
