This is strange. I've been profiling gnome-shell 42 on jammy and gnome- shell 46 on noble. Neither have the bug, at least not with my lowly 1000Hz mice (which seems to be the same polling rate as the Razer DeathAdder V2).
The profile in comment #18 is intriguing because it very clearly shows meta_idle_manager_reset_idle_time is the problem for you. But when I profile my own systems, that function accounts for under 1% of gnome- shell's time. Can you think of anything you have like an extension or application running that might seek to disable screensavers and prevent screen blanking? A browser or video player maybe? ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051383 Title: gnome-shell high CPU utilization when moving a high frequency mouse Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I simply move my mouse cursor on an empty desktop, gnome-shell's CPU usage goes up from 20% (when idle) to 60%, which causes stuttering.
