https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476301 Summary: Desktop Effects freezes on switcher when using animations Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Compiz AssignedTo: bnc-team-compiz@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: foxmulder2004@yahoo.com QAContact: bperry@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 After enabling desktop effects, all forms of the switcher function work great. However, when I enable animations, the switcher function will freeze when the alt+tab keys are released. All escape key sequences do no good, and the only way to recover is to reset the computer. Mouse control remains, however. After the switcher freezes, the mouse appears and I can move it around, but can't click on anything. Please note that the window picker that appears when the mouse is moved to the top right-hand corner of the screen also freezes under the same circumstances. Even when animations are enabled and all options are set to "none", the switcher still freezes. Applications still continue to run, though, as I had music playing when I first encountered the problem, and it continued to play even after the screen was frozen. As far as I can tell, this is not a system-specific error, as I have been able to reproduce it on a custom-built desktop with openSuSE installed to the hard drive (and all updates installed) and a toshiba laptop running a livecd. Also note that the "Static Application Switcher" is not affected by this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select "Desktop Effects" from the Control Center. 2.Enable desktop effects. 3.Under "Animations", select "Enable animations". 4.Under the "Effects" tab, choose any switcher except the Static Application Switcher. 5.Press Alt+Tab to go to another window. 6.Release Alt+Tab Alternatively, after step 4, move mouse to upper-right-hand corner of the screen to start the Window Picker. Actual Results: Entire GUI freezes (except for the mouse) and all functionality ceases. Hard reboot required. Expected Results: Switcher zooms to selected window and desktop control is regained. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
