Description joel.forums 2016-03-27 04:12:13 UTC
Desktop animations start to lag/stutter after I resume from a suspended session (although not after every suspend). This is most noticeable when opening the dash overlay, switching desktops, or mousing over the dock (dash to dock extension), so that it slides out from hiding. It is also slightly noticeable when opening and closing windows. After a restart of gnome shell (alt+F2, type "r"), all animations are butter-smooth again.

I'm using the Lenove Thinkpad Yoga 12 2nd gen laptop, intel graphics and I have installed libva, intel-xf86, and mesa.I have configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf as detailed in the arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics). I originally reported this issue in the Antergos forums (https://forum.antergos.com/topic/4149/stuttering-lagging-desktop-animations-after-suspend/2) and at least one more person posted that they have the same issue.

I can confirm experiencing exactly this. Fedora 23 here.

Hello, why isn't this being adressed?

You (and anyone else who would like to see this fixed) is free to further investigate and provide a software patch, if this is still a problem nowadays.

Same here on a fully-updated Fedora 27 on a Thinkpad T450s (Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500). I didn't reboot or shutdown very often my notebook and so I use a lot the supend-to-ram. Gnome becomes extremely laggy after 2-3 suspend cycle and the only workaround is to to a <alt-F2>+r to restart gnome-shell. :(

It is still a problem for me on my latest Arch Linux with gnome-shell 3.28.2 (I encountered this since at least Gnome Shell 3.18 i.e. over 2 years now, and I just don't remember if that was ever working fine for me).

Please, suggest where could I start digging.

I have Lenovo Y50-70 laptop with a 4k display, which has 48Hz refresh rate, so my first guess is that it might be the cause (some sort of sync/timer issue).

A bunch of Linux kernels, Gnome Shell, and other updates landed since the first time I noticed this, and this issue doesn't occur on KDE (Plasma Shell), so I believe it is Gnome Shell bug.
Comment 6 André Klapper 2020-10-27 20:52:54 UTC
Is this still a problem in recent versions (preferably 3.38, or maybe 3.36)?
Comment 7 Vlad Frolov 2020-10-27 22:29:30 UTC
It seems to be resolved now. I haven’t seen it for a while now
