I can get this same reaction by scrolling in rhythmbox itself. I think firefox is just incidentally related.
I see the same as a previous poster, scrolling using either the mouse wheel or holding the scroll up/down buttons (so it jumps a few rows) causes play back to hang and Xorg process (/usr/X11R6/binX :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7) to spike very high in cpu usage. Playback resumes after this goes back down. I currently have 2Gb ram, but only about 250mb free in ram, and using 1.2Gb of swap with 9Gb free. Also running a virtual machine (Virtualbox'ed WindowsXP) which is chewing up quite a bit of cpu. Still, the rhythmbox scrolling behaviour seems erratic. -- Scrolling Firefox interrupts Rhythmbox audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
