Gnome-Mplayer Preferences Stalls

[TenPlus1]

When running gnome-mplayer in Lubuntu it can play the media no problem but when I go to EDIT -> PREFERENCES the preference window stalls and I can only close the player in order to fix this...

[TenPlus1 (tenplus1)]

For clarification this is running on the daily build of Ubuntu 12.10 quantal (28th Aug 2012) on an Acer Aspire Revo using Noveau graphics (Nvidia Ion Rev. 2) and 2gb...

I'm able to reproduce the bug. gnome-mplayer doesn't react anymore and its CPU goes up to 100%.

Howerer, this seems to be a Ubuntu specific issue. I can't reproduce on Debian.

apport information

[ԜаӀtеr Ⅼарсһуnѕkі (wxl)]

since the dupe had the apport info but this parent bug didn't, i've apport-collected all the info. on my system i certainly have major lag. i wouldn't say it's a complete freeze but if you're a quick-moving user as many are, it will appear that way. i noticed that the language dropdown is particularly slow.

If i had to guess, and I am.
it's that somehow assistive technologies got turned on.
Because this bug is so similar:

how do we test for this on lubuntu? i didn't grok that from the nautlius bug.

[karl anliot (kanliot)]

:( no idea.

I can keep guessing, I suppose. But nobody wants that.

If I kill all the at-spi2-something processes the preferences are usable again. Maybe this issue is related to #1048572 but I'm not sure.

[David M (fersure91)]

Confirmed. Killing those processes makes the preferences dialog fully
responsive straight after loading for me.

[Sebastian Ramacher (s-ramacher)]

So let's reassign it then. If at-spi2-core is not the right package, please reassign to the correct one.
