Description reggaeman83 2010-08-04 18:25:22 UTC
Binary package hint: nautilus

if i drag and drop a nautilus window that takes the whole screen to resizing it, and then resizing it again to take the whole screen, I've got multiple disk acess that I don't have with other window like firefox or openoffice.

I can see this bug with and without the compiz effects.

Hmm, seems just hovering the toolbar makes a lot of writes as well.

When moving the window is probably because it's saving the size and position of the window but it shouldn't do that for browser windows.

Cosimo?

We do save the size and position for browser windows too, though we do it on window close.
How do you measure writes and disk access? Would be nice to have a stacktrace of what happens when you move the window or hover the toolbar.

I did a strace on nautilus. How can I make gdb stop on disk write?
Comment 9 Marcus Carlson 2010-08-08 15:19:59 UTC
Seems the movement on the toolbar was writev and caused by some tooltip function i gtk so skip that one.

Is this still an issue?
