2011-10-25 21:01:24 Aurélien Gâteau description Steps to reproduce: 1) Open Skype 2) Disconnect from internet. Skype icon starts to animate 3) Notice Skype unity-panel-service starts eating up the CPU and often making indicator menus unresponsive or lag like Ubuntu is running on a 200mhz cpu [Impact] Users running a Qt application with a systemtray icon which updates its icon frequently to produce an animation will get unity-panel-service to use all CPU. This is because sni-qt continuously generate new images for the icon which unity-panel-service has to decode. Skype is an example of application which triggers this bug. [Development Fix] Bug has been fixed upstream in sni-qt 0.2.6 by computing md4sums of the icon pixels, making it possible to reuse existing images instead of always generating new ones. [Stable Fix] debdiff attached to this report backports revision 88.1.4 of upstream, implementing the md4sum. [Test Case] 1) Open Skype 2) Disconnect from internet. Skype icon starts to animate 3) Notice Skype unity-panel-service starts eating up the CPU and often making indicator menus unresponsive or lag like Ubuntu is running on a 200mhz cpu [Regression Potential] No regression expected. The fix has been tested from a PPA for a while now.
