Dekbar at random losses all extensions

[jorge]

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

From time to time, the deskbar gets corrupted and will stop working. The window opens,but if i type anything nothing appears.
I suspect is some extension misbehaving, as usually in the previous search deskbar will get stuck on some subword of wathever i was writing.
If i remove and re-add the applet it starts working again. But everytime i remove and re-add it take a lot of time for it get responsive (about half a minute). It appears inmediately in the bar,but won't accept any input for a while.

Interpid, updated from Hardy.
Default extensions plus calculator, 2.24.1-0ubuntu1.

I've been trying to reproduce it, but it just happens somtimes, One thing i found is that when the tracker is indexing, deskbar get very sluggish. Idisabled tracker-live extension, and it improved a lot. This could something to do, as as i mentioned, the last thing deskbar does before locking is bog down on some search to not recover again.

The second isue i think is an unrelated bug: deskbar will consistently delay between loading and starting to work for about a half minute, without extra cpu load or anything. If i press alt-f3 as soon as the icon appears, it will do nothing until it popups much later. After that it will ac normally.The same with clicking the icon. Should i open a separate ticket?

I actually think it was the live tracker plugin. Since disabling it tracker didn't lock once.

[jorge (xxopxe)]

ACK, i mean deskbar didn't lock once.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

It still crashes at random. Tough a good way to trigger it is to paste a
longish word in the search field. It starts grinding the disk, and then
starts popping crash windows. Usually complaining about:

----------------
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deskbar/ui
/cuemiac/CuemiacTreeView.py", line 188, in __get_match_action_for_cell
    cell.set_property ("has-more-actions", len(match.get_actions()) > 1)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_actions'
----------------

(I just triggered it pasting "launchpad" into the search field).

Sometimes it crashes just out of typing too fast into the box. Then i
cancel them (there's always a secuence of crash windows), and then it
continues working.

Installed last version of deskbar-applet (2.25.91) and now it seems to be stable.

Works as of 2.25.91

To my understanding this bug is not fixed, as 2.25.91 is not available in Intrepid Ibex
