I verified the Xfce bug by installing the xfce4 metapackage on top of Ubuntu 18.10. I could see the cursor flickering (and missing tooltip) by hovering over the text for one of the links in Archive Manager's Help.
After installing libgtk-3-0 (and related packages) 3.24.4-0ubuntu1, the tooltip displayed correctly without flickering. I also ran several gtk3 apps in Ubuntu 18.10 and verified that they worked fine. I confirmed that switches looked ok with the Yaru and Adwaita themes. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-cosmic ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-cosmic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808233 Title: Update gtk to 3.24.4 Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in gtk+3.0 source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ====== There is a new release in the stable 3.24 series. This also bundles the emoji fixes from LP: #1807719 and LP: #1807721 and the Xfce flickering fix from LP: #1798861. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/gtk-3-24/NEWS https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/compare/3.24.1...3.24.4 Test Case ========= Run several apps in the default Ubuntu install and make sure that there are no visible regressions. Make sure that GTK switches look OK. We will also be checking Xfce to validate the fix for LP: #1798861. Regression Potential ==================== There is a standing microrelease exception for GNOME point releases. I believe this is the second time in recent history that we've pushed a gtk point release as an SRU. The other example was 3.22.25 for Ubuntu 17.10 (LP: #1728421). We never ended up doing one for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS since it already included 3.22.30, the final 3.22 release. It hasn't been practical to update 18.04's gtk to the 3.24 series (bumped dependencies are one problem). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#GNOME By the way, pre-release gtk3 is actually getting a bit more testing than a year ago since more developers and users are using development Flatpak releases of popular GNOME apps. (On the other hand, there were a few regressions in the 3.24.2 and 3.24.3 releases.) This update changes the ON/OFF switches for GNOME's default Adwaita theme to use ❙/○ for all languages (or ⏽/⭘ if they are supported in a font you have installed: currently, that's fonts-symbola which we no longer install by default). Previously, it was ❙/○ for most languages but ON/OFF for English (because English has short words that could fit on a switch). This doesn't affect default Ubuntu 18.10 which uses Yaru which doesn't use labels on its switches. This is technically a UI change, but it is useful for compatibility with Flatpak apps that are being built with the new GTK. This change is small enough that it could be reverted for Ubuntu 18.10 if necessary. Other Info ========== The commit history shows themeing changes to the GNOME default themes (Adwaita and Adwaita Dark which are bundled inside gtk3). But those changes were reverted for this release to make it easier for distros like us to push the update to our stable release. The next scheduled gtk3 release (3.24.5 ? in March?) will include those changes. See https://blog.gtk.org/2019/01/14/theme-changes-in- gtk-3/ for more details.
