GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 337815
Applet flashes constantly
Last modified: 2009-02-03 14:08:10 UTC
Description: The applet flashes constantly if the minimum number of columns displayed is greater than 0 (which is the default value). Setting the minimum number of columns to display to 0 effectively works around the bug. While flashing, the CPU goes to 100%. Version: 2.12.1 OS: Fedora Core 5 (GNOME 2.14)
I found it flashes when min=0 and max = (luncher_nums - 1) in a unexpanded panel.
I can confirm this. Doesn't matter what minimum_size is, if the maximum_size = number_of_icons-1 AND the applet is on a top default panel (size = 24) AND use_one_row = false, then it flashes. It doesn't flash if maximum_size = number_of_icons | number_of_icons-2, only when it's number_of_icons-1 I'm using the latest version from the trunk.
it should be now fixed in current trunk, can someone confirm please ?.
closing as fixed, feel free to reopen if it stills happens to you.
