I did find a bug that might be connected to this one. When ever I run a TimeoutSource with a short interval in GLibs main loop will all the idle events be put on hold until the timer ends. This caused the spinning wheel to block the main loop. I have not been able to track down the problem in GLib but I will continue looking for it.
There is a fix for this problem in the 2.x branch of the source code repository. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1578538 Title: Birdfont freezes while saving to a new file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/birdfont/+bug/1578538/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
