Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 440 by vox.cogi...@gmail.com: Lives preference dialog infinite loop http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=440 Steps to reproduce: 1. Install and start the Lives video editor. 2. Open preferences window(C-p). The preference window will then cycle very rapidly between two sizes, using near-100% CPU.

Comment #1 on issue 440 by allber...@gmail.com: Lives preference dialog infinite loop http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=440 This is very likely a bug in Lives; you're describing a program that thinks window manager *hints* are window manager *orders*, and reacts poorly when the window manager says "no".
Comment #2 on issue 440 by vox.cogi...@gmail.com: Lives preference dialog infinite loop http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=440 I'm a bit confused here. What exactly do you mean by "..and reacts poorly when the window manager says "no""?

Comment #4 on issue 440 by allber...@gmail.com: Lives preference dialog infinite loop http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=440 What you're seeing: it demands its size again, and again is given a different size, repeatedly (rather like a young child). Meanwhile its window flickers between the initial and xmonad-assigned size.
Comment #5 on issue 440 by salsa...@gmail.com: Lives preference dialog infinite loop http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=440 Does it happen with all tabs selected, or only the first tab (GUI) ? In particular does it still happen with the Warnings tab (which uses a scrolled window to fit its contents) ? Does it happen with the Themes tab (which has only one sub widget) ? In LiVES svn most of the tabs now use scrolled windows for their contents so this may resolve the issue.
Comment #6 on issue 440 by salsa...@gmail.com: Lives preference dialog infinite loop http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=440 It seems like the bug is in GTK+ 2.x and NOT, in fact, in LiVES. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list/2011-February/msg00107.htm... mentions the bug and that it has been fixed in GTK 3. BTW, you will get LiVES issues resolved much quicker if you report them on the LiVES bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=64341&atid=507139 or on the LiVES fora... or on the lives-users or lives-devel mailing lists... or by emailing the developer (me) directly... In fact two of these methods are available by a single click from the Help menu.
