Description ncdehnel 2019-11-14 04:12:57 UTC
SUMMARY
I have a KVM webpage that I use frequently. The KVM window's titlebar displays the remote server's refresh rate, which updates 60 times a second. Whenever I open the KVM my taskbar freezes. Put some sort of update cap, or some other mechanism to prevent the taskbar from freezing.

taskmanager: Only update the task label when visible

When the task label is not visible, we should not bind text to
model.display.

This is expected to slightly reduce the power consumption in daily usage.
