Package: mumble Version: 1.3.4-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Dear Maintainer, On KDE Plasma 5.20.5, when I use mumble's Hide in tray when minimized feature, after clicking on the tray icon to show mumble again, the client will rapidly display and hide until I click the icon again. Sometimes this does not occur, and the client will display properly, but it is more often than not it will flash.
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.
Another possibility is mouse settings in KDE for mouse click timing where the timing is either too short or too long such that "extra clicks" are detected that weren't intended, i.e. the mouse button doesn't get digitally "debounced" correctly, or too long so that no mouse clicks occur when expected.
So my first suggestion is to try changing mice to see if it's a mouse button problem, and the second is to try adjust the mouse button timing in KDE settings (especially if you have done so recently).
Earlier last year, this flashing was a soft-lock to my input on the machine, and I was not able to terminate mumble normally without switching to a tty console, or even using SSH from my mobile phone. This behavior has since improved, and is not as severe, so I am able to stop mumble when this happens.
Is this possibly again about mouse clicks? i.e. did this have to do with trying to terminate Mumble using the mouse? I'd like a little more information about what specific input was used to try to terminate Mumble that didn't work, and what did.
Is this really a KDE bug? I'm not sure. Let me know if I can provide any more information.
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 have a Sid VM where I think I'll try adding KDE Plasma to for testing. Please let me know what you find; I'll do the same. Thanks -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected]
