Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.94) OS: Linux How to reproduce: * Open KStars. * Create a print preview of the screen. When I do this, X starts consuming all the CPU power it can get. The system gets very unresponsive, mouse cursor jumping and so on. As soon as you close the print preview, the problem is gone.
This bug is only reproducable when you don't have the DRI module loaded. Should it work without DRI? The things I have tested: NVidia Closed Source: Works NVidia Open Source with DRI: Works NVidia Open Source without DRI: Trouble
We use the standard KDE print dialog, so this isn't a kstars bug. Reassigning to kdeprint.
- put the system in the configuration where you would have the problem (DRI module loaded) - from KStars, print to a PS file - view the PS file with kghostview Do you still have the problem?
UNCONFIRMED (batch reassigning messed this)
I suppose (bad! suppose bad!) that this is a performance problem in kghostview part, related to very large bitmaps being displayed. I still wait for an answer from the original reporter as of what happens when following doing the test requested by Michael.
I'm closing this bug report now due to timeout for requested feedback by reporter. Dik, feel free to re-open this report if it is still bugging you. (and include the version of your CUPS + Ghostscript packages). Unfortunately, I don't have a way to test with NVidia.
Closing old Resolved status bug.
