Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2015-11-24 05:53:23 UTC 
Created attachment 316134 [details]
accessible-event listener: showing.py

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch the attached accessible-event listener in a terminal
2. Begin the creation of an image
3. Sit there and do nothing for a while

Expected results: There would not be a continuous flow of object:state-changed:showing events.

Actual results: I get over 300/second object:state-changed:showing events for the following labels whose text is presumably static:

* "Model"
* "Size"
* "Partitioning"
* "Serial"
* "Size"
* "Device"
* "Partition Type"
* "Contents"

AND the values for each of the above, which also appear to be static.

Here's 8 seconds worth of output. It's 2584 lines long (1 line per event).

Not planning to look at this before 3.20, patches welcome.

Looks like we need to change update_device_page in gduwindow.c to not hide widgets itself, and enhance the functions it calls to hide the widgets instead only when necessary.
