Hi Marga, Thanks for responding so quickly.
Trying to reproduce the bug: In the Cinnamon settings, there is a dialog where you can set several things concerning fonts. E.g. antialiasing, hinting - and also the text scaling factor. See the following picture: http://www.binarytides.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/linux-mint-font-settings.png When I then click on the + or - to increase/decrease the font scaling factor, wait every time for 2-3 seconds so that the font size really changes (there seems to be a small delay), my cinnamon freezes after clicking around for 10-20 seconds. Sometimes, it also "helped" to also move some windows around, resize windows, change desktops or open the cinnamon menu. BTW: The "workaround" (killing cinnamon) sometimes helps, but sometimes not so that I had to restart X completely. So this bug already caused data loss to me - this is why I thought the severity 'grave' was correct - although not everybody seems to be hurt by this bug. Hope this helps, Micha -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Margarita Manterola [mailto:ma...@debian.org] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5.

I understand that the bug can be annoying for those that do experience it, and I'm sorry for that, but that doesn't mean the program is unusable for everyone. There's even a workaround (ugly, yes, but at least it exists). So, no, this doesn't warrant a "grave" severity (particularly not at this point in the release, when grave means it will get removed from Jessie). > This bug still exists in Testing, but also upstream: > https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/3275 I read that bug and it looks like a big mess of probably different issues, as people are saying that they experience different symptoms under different circumstances. > I was able to reproduce it very easy by increasing/decreasing the font > scale factor multiple times. Can you elaborate on this? I'd be interested in being able to easily reproduce the bug myself. -- Regards, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
