Description Ravn Revheim 2005-09-30 13:15:55 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Sometimes when image windows are being resized either by the application itself,
or manually, the whole system freezes.

Only solution I've found so far is to perform a hard reset of the computer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new image, or open an existing one.
2. Resize the window a few times.


Actual results:
The whole system freezes.

Expected results:
A new size for my image window!

Does this happen every time?
Nope.

Other information:
Save often!

System is fedora core 4, 'could be useful' version numbers:
 - xorg : 6.8.2
 - gtk : 2.8.4

I have seen the same thing (also on FC4).  In a couple of cases, though, the
system seemed to freeze but then came back to life after a minute or so, so I
wonder whether it might actually just be sending X into some long-lasting process.

Please give this report a meaningful summary.
Comment 4 Ravn Revheim 2005-10-01 00:13:05 UTC 
It seems that it is most likely to be triggered when the image window
repositions itself after a resize...could it be connected to the window manager?

Actually, I don't see anything except the window manager that could
cause this.
Comment 6 Michael Natterer 2005-10-25 00:20:26 UTC 
Fixed in my tree, will commit tomorrow.
Comment 7 Michael Natterer 2005-10-25 00:21:09 UTC 
Argh sorry, comment #6 was not meant for this bug.
Comment 8 Michael Natterer 2006-05-26 14:12:55 UTC 
GIMP doesn't do anything weird here. If at all, it's the window
manager or X itself which is messing things up. Closing as NOTGNOME.
