On Dell Inspiron 9200, with or without accelerator for NVIDEA graphics.
P.S. I would like to give 9.10 a chance. Please help.
Scenario - have gedit and browser open (browser with the forum message being edited), then do the following:
1.This example demonstrates one problem (unresponsive single click)
Use the System-->Preferences-->Mouse
Click repeatedly on the light bulb at 1 second interval ---> result: often the light does not turn on.
Result: it appears that the click event does not complete. I have noticed that a mouse-out will cause the click to complete (specifically as in 2. and 3 after a brief moment (hopefully before the drag and drop icon appears).
2. Click on any icon, submit button, close, etc. takes many tries.
3. Click on any icon, panel button, link, etc. if you linger a moment a floating icon (a drag and drop hand).
4. Scrollbar button and action follow the mouse outside of the scrollbar. The scrollbar sticks - difficult to make scrollbar stop following the mouse.
5. Example, have two visible windows (for example gedit and the browser) From gedit move to browser by click on browser. ---> result takes forever to recognise the focus and click and go to the broser.
6. Unresponsive UI. In browser highlight text in textarea (with difficulty) then chose Copy (slow UI), from this window click on desktop's Applications (takes many clicks to open), from Accessories click on gedit (slow or takes more than one try), paste (speed of paste OK).
7. From browser, Alt-TAB to make the gedit window active, then click on File (slow), Save As (takes many tries)
8. In gedit, selection in Save As of where to save has strange initial behaviour flashing the list of choices several times - eventually I chose 'Desktop'.
9.Back button takes many tries -as with the close button.
10. Back on the gedit window with this text. I try to Edit -> Select All. I have to try several times as the menu flashes.
Many other problems.
Excuse the long rant.
<History>
While running 9.04 for a long time without problems I noticed the Synaptic Package Manager offering to upgrade to 9.10. I took the bait.
I shared with the forum, with no help or any response. I decided to reinstall 9.04.
I reinstalled 9.04 clean and worked the last few months Ok.
I manually messed up tomboy when I deleted some mono files, on recommendation from the tomboy irc, I reinstalled 9.10 clearn from .iso.
Unresponsive UI in the new 9.10.
This prompted me to share this rant.
</history>
Note: from another post, it suggests that GDK has problems and that we need GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS to 1. I don't have enough knowledge to know where this is done.
Note: Gut feeling, it appears that these problem have to do with an effort to implement 'gestures' in the window manager.
