GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 719692
Changing effects feels unresponsive
Last modified: 2020-11-12 07:12:36 UTC
I open Cheese and see myself sitting in front of my laptop. Then I click on "Effects" and the effects preview grid opens. I click on "Hulk" - nothing happens. I click again and nothing happens. I double click and yet nothing happens. Then I click three times in the preview field for the "Hulk" effect, changing the mouse pointer position randomly between my clicks - the effect is applied and the "Effects" preview grid closes. I don't know if this is a bug with my specific software or hardware setup, or if this behaviour is intended, but changing effects leaves a strong unresponsive impression...
Created attachment 264791 [details] [review] cheese: Effects can be selected on a single click Fixed the bug where the effects had to be clicked several times since the only the tap action was enabled.
Please comment if the fix patch is commited
Review of attachment 264791 [details] [review]: ClutterTapAction is documented to respond to both taps (from touch events) and clicks (from pointer events): https://developer.gnome.org/clutter/stable/ClutterTapAction.html#ClutterTapAction.description I cannot reproduce the problematic behaviour in Cheese with Fedora 20 (built in jhbuild), with either a touchscreen or mouse. If the bug is in Clutter, the best way to confirm is to come up with a simple test-case and file a Clutter bug, or reassign this bug to Clutter (once a test-case has been written).
I have this issue as well except I am never able to successfully select an effect. I can scroll through the grid pages but no amount of clicks or key presses on the keyboard result in an effect being selected. System Info: OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel Release: 3.12.6-1-ARCH DE: Cinnamon 2.0.14 GTK+: 3.10.6 Clutter: 1.16.2
Hi Dustin please try the patch and let me know if it fixes the issue. If not we might be looking at two different issues
Looks like you are right. The patch doesn't fix it. Should I start a new report?
On Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon amd64 I see that cheese 3.10.2 behaves as reported by Dustin in comment #4. The system has the following packages installed: Linux kernel: 3.11.0-18-generic DE: Cinnamon 2.0.14 libgtk-3-0: 3.8.7 libclutter-1.0-0: 1.14.6-0 But on the same hardware cheese 3.8.3 doesn't have the issue on Linux Mint 16 amd64 with MATE desktop (clutter 1.14.4-3).
On Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon amd64 I see that cheese 3.10.2 does not have this issue any more. The system has the following packages installed: Linux kernel: 3.16.0-30-generic DE: Cinnamon 2.4.8 libgtk-3-0: 3.10.8~8 libclutter-1.0-0: 1.16.4-0
