Bug 63871

Summary: Moving Icons on Desktop in 50% of cases really slow and seems like lagging!

Description flstcboy 2003-09-08 02:52:18 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

This is definitiv a strange behavior and also very anoying:

When selecting an Icon on the Desktop and moving it around, it "can be" (50%) that it is really slow and the user get the feeling like having a really slow computer or any process is lagging the system or stealing 99% of CPU-ressource.
but "sometimes" selecting 1 Icon, and moving it is just fast as expected to be. just the same normal behavior like on any other Operating System.

This is similar if selecting more than 1 icon and moving them arround.

ATTENTION: On fast computer you might not notice this bug. BUT on my PIII 450 MHz it is really noticeable and gives a feeling like a slow machine or "somethings going wrong with any running process".

Please try that out on a similar or slower maschine.

A suggestion, where/how to find the Bug in the source:
my opinion is, the Bug is related to the "loading of the Popup-Info".
Reason:
1. if you click the icon and directly moving it, then mostly the moving is fast.
2. if you click the icon, and waiting a bit, but moving the icon(s) BEFORE or AFTER the
   Popup-info of the icon appears, then mostly the moving is very slow.

Please fix that. the Desktop will get a better, complete and smooth behavior.

Thanks.

Could you check if this is the same problem as the one reported in bugreport 54859?
