Package: kildclient Version: 3.2.0-2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
One of the features of KildClient is that, when I hover the mouse pointer over a line of text in the scrollback buffer for about a second or so, a small "text balloon" will appear showing information about the line - most prominently, a timestamp of when it arrived. Since my most recent restart of KildClient (following a power-loss reboot, following quite a few package upgrades over the course of weeks without a client restart), this balloon now disappears after well under a second, then reappears again after little if any more time than that, and the pattern repeats - resulting in a "flickering" behavior, in which the balloon is visible for such a short period that it is difficult if not impossible to read the contents of the balloon. What's more, if I have the focus in another window at the time when this "the balloon disappears" behavior happens, the focus changes to KildClient. (However, KildClient is not brought to the foreground.) That latter behavior seems as if it could be conditional on particular window-manager focus settings. I run e16, currently version 10.0.15.000 (self-compiled), with the setting "focus follows pointer sloppily". I suspect that this is probably not actually a problem in KildClient, but in one of the GTK libraries; I think that KildClient is the only GTK3 program I currently use which has this type of mouseover-causes-balloon feature. However, as I am not sufficiently familiar with GTK to even begin narrowing it down, and none of the existing bug reports against the immediate GTK-related dependency library (libgtk-3-0) seem related at a quick scan-through, I think it may be more useful to report the bug where I'm observing it. If the bug needs to be reassigned elsewhere, I fully approve of that happening. If a separate bug report (to pick up additional system information) against a different package is needed, I can do that too, as long as I know which package and in what terms to couch the report. If there is anything I can do to help narrow this down and/or resolve it, please do not hesitate to let me know. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'stable'), (500, 'testing-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages kildclient depends on: ii desktop-file-utils 0.23-4 ii libc6 2.27-6 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.1-2 ii libgnutls30 3.5.19-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.1-2 ii libgtkspell3-3-0 3.0.9-2 ii libjson-perl 2.97001-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-3 ii libperl5.26 5.26.2-7+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 kildclient recommends no packages.
