2019-07-23 13:05:22 Dmitry Shachnev description On an uptodate Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS system I am observing the same symptoms as in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1765304 When I focus a password field in Firefox, it starts focusing and unfocusing rapidly, making it difficult to type passwords. Also, CPU usage goes up with the 4 processes eating most: %Cpu(s): 25,3 us, 11,0 sy, 0,0 ni, 63,5 id Xorg 60% gnome-flashback 21% firefox 20% ibus-daemon 4% Launching Firefox with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox makes it go away. This started several (~7) days ago. $ apt list gnome-shell ibus firefox Listing... Done firefox/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 68.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 [installed] gnome-shell/bionic-updates,now 3.28.4-0ubuntu18.04.1 amd64 [installed] ibus/bionic,now 1.5.17-3ubuntu4 amd64 [installed] $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release: 18.04 On an uptodate Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS system I am observing the same symptoms as in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1765304 When I focus a password field in Firefox, it starts focusing and unfocusing rapidly, making it difficult to type passwords. Also, CPU usage goes up with the 4 processes eating most: %Cpu(s): 25,3 us, 11,0 sy, 0,0 ni, 63,5 id Xorg 60% gnome-flashback 21% firefox 20% ibus-daemon 4% Launching Firefox with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox makes it go away. [Impact] This affects Firefox and potentially other applications running on GNOME Flashback desktop environment. [Test Case] 1) Install gnome-session-flashback and ibus; 2) Log into the GNOME Flashback session; 3) Make sure the ibus indicator is visible in panel; 4) Start Firefox and open any page which contains <input type="password">, e.g. https://twitter.com/login. 5) It should be possible to type into the input. There should be no flickering. [Proposed Fix] The fix is backporting these two commits from upstream gnome-3-28 branch: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/commit/97b91406aafe60ac - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/commit/fdecddfa802bbbf1 [Regression Potential] The second commit removes listening to sources-changed key in GSettings, so potentially there could be cases when that setting is updated but GNOME Flashback does not handle that. However, in practice the current-source-changed is updated together with that key, so GNOME Flashback will handle that. Both commits are already applied in Eoan. One of two is already applied in Disco. No regressions have been reported so far.
