retitle 985362 mumble: Unhide after Minimize to tray flashes rapidly under KDE
tags 985362 - moreinfo
thx
Hello Johnathan.
Thanks for your continued testing, it's appreciated.
I'm still working to get KDE installed in a Sid VM because the Sid VM I have has
a disk that's too small to add KDE to, so I'm figuring out the procedure needed
to extend the virtual disk to fit it. It involves extending the virtual disk
file size withe VM off (qemu-img), then partition size, logical volume size,
then filesystem size.
Jonathan Rubenstein:
Thank you for your reply, Chris.
This sounds like Mumble being brought out of being minimized and then
minimizing again, as if there were either no or two mouse clicks; i.e. this
sounds like a mouse button switch that's starting to go bad. I've had this
happen to me, it leads to thinking of all kinds of things being broken that
aren't.
I have right clicked on the mumble icon and hit "Show"—which should only ever
allow one mouse click because it disappears—and still experience this issue even
with that. This can also happen when running 'mumble' in a terminal with mumble
already open and minimized to tray, or opening a desktop file.
I've also run xev and clicked the window 100 times, saving the log to a file[1].
This log contains no more and no less than exactly 100 mouse button down entries
and 100 mouse button up entries.
Hmm. Yeah that sounds conclusive that it's not a mouse button issue.
Interesting. Thanks, this was a great idea.
So my first suggestion is to try changing mice to see if it's a mouse button
problem,
I have briefly switched mice to my old one, and I have the same issue at the
same reproduction rate.
This also fits a conclusion that it's not the mouse button.
and the second is to try adjust the mouse button timing in KDE settings
(especially if you have done so recently). >
I cannot find these settings in KDE 5, but as I can reproduce without using the
mouse at all via a terminal or desktop file, I do not believe this will help.
Yeah the other thing is that the test done with counting mouse clicks and them
matching up in number would also invalidate the idea of this being an issue of
mouse settings in KDE 5.
To answer the question of where the settings for this should be, it should be in
KDE "System Settings" under "Input Devices"

At first glance I suspect this isn't a Mumble bug, or at least that if it does
relate to Mumble directly that it doesn't happen on all desktop environments.
I regularly use the "Hide in tray when minimized" feature but not on KDE.
I agree, it does not seem to happen on all desktop environments.
Okay cool, so that part seems consistent.
I have a Sid VM where I think I'll try adding KDE Plasma to for testing.
I can try in a VM as well. I'll also give it a go in some other DEs and WMs.
I hope my testing is satisfactory, let me know if I can do anything else.
Yes this testing has been very helpful, thank you.
It means more than might be expected; this is the kind of collaboration that I
enjoy.

Since this was supplied I got curious so I had a look: yup, 100 mouse clicks and
releases as expected.
user@host:~/Downloads$ fgrep ButtonPress paste_1190823 | wc -l
100
user@host:~/Downloads$ fgrep ButtonRelease paste_1190823 | wc -l
100
