Description Albert Astals Cid 2013-08-01 22:31:10 UTC
How to reproduce:
 * Close kate
 * Go using sftp:// to a sftp server in konqueror
 * Select two text files, right click and open with kate
 * Both files open with kate
 * Wait for minutes
 * The first file loads correctly and the "The file is still loading" message goes away
 * Change to the other file
 * Wait for minutes (just in case)
 * See that the "The file is still loading" message does not go away
Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2013-08-01 22:32:05 UTC
Extra notes:
 * If you press F5 while on the second document kate will crash (will attach gdb and valgrind traces)
 * If you change to the first file and back to the second one the message is gone

Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2013-08-01 22:34:40 UTC
Ok, can't attach a valgrind trace since kate+valgrind crashes somewhere in QTJSC :-/
Comment 4 Dominik Haumann 2013-08-06 18:16:12 UTC
Ok, to elaborate on the current situation: Since we want a smooth transition when showing/hiding the notifications, we use animatedShow() and animatedHide(). To explain the issue, let's focus on animatedHide().

animatedHide() uses a QTimeLine to change the height of the KMessageWidget, until the height is 0 pixel. Then, it calls hide() to finally hide the KMessageWidget.

In the KateMessageWdiget (which uses KMessageWidget), we use an event filter to detect the hide event of the KMessageWdget:
if (obj == m_messageWidget && event->type() == QEvent::Hide /*...*/ ) {
  // (X)
}
Currently, we interpret (X) as "the animation finished, hence either show the next notification, or hide the KateMessageWidget, too".

Interestingly, this idea is the "root of all evil", since the hide event is also triggered when you switch to another document. In the case, the KateView is hidden, another one is shown. In the code itself, we cannot always catch the reason why the KMessageWidget is hidden.

This basic issue leads to quite complex code (e.g. in the hideEvent() of KateMessageWidget) to show the next notification, or to show the current notification again since it simply was hidden by a view change.

The clean solution would be: We need a signal of KMessageWidget when the hide animation is finished, _independent_ of any (additional) hide events. KateMessageWidget could then just connect to this signal, and we would always be sure when to e.g. show the next pending notification.

Currently, KMessageWidget lacks this functionality.

1st solution) add this signal for KDE 4.11.0 (yes, the tag is tomorrow)
2nd solution) we drop animatedHide() and animatedShow() in favour if the fadeIn() and fadeOut() effect we additionally implemented in Kate. We would add a signal here ourselves, and then connect to this signal to finally always accuratly know what to do.

The disadvantage of solution 2 is, that growing and shrinking the widget above the view and below the view looks nicer than fading it in / out: Fade in / out means you have a jump since the widget appears, and the the contents fades in.

What solution do you prefer? Adding the signal is trivial:

 }

Albert, Aurelien: What's your take on this? If we go for the patch (untested), it won't be me committing this patch (I'm currently very short on time). Still, I would fix it in Kate Part accordingly.
Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2013-08-06 21:47:32 UTC
I don't have an opinion, if you need that, well you need that, i'll leave Aurelien to decide, just mention that you'll probably also need the signals on the 

    if (!(KGlobalSettings::graphicEffectsLevel() & KGlobalSettings::SimpleAnimationEffects)) {
        hide();
        return;
    }

and

    if (!(KGlobalSettings::graphicEffectsLevel() & KGlobalSettings::SimpleAnimationEffects)) {
        show();
        return;
    }
