After restoring konvi's minimised main window the GUI stays unresponsive for 30s up to minutes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. minimize konvi's main window with its chat tabs 2. wait some seconds or minutes 3. restore konvi's window Actual Results: - main window is not updated according to mouse inputs, incoming chat messages or newly opened tabs anymore - klicking the chat tabs changes window title, but does not update the tab's chat view - only after some time the GUI suddenly updates itself all at once (messages appear, new chat tabs open) - seems like the "recovery time" can be as long as 2.5 mins, depending on how long application had been minimised - tested with "watched nicks", "freenode" and 6 chats open - it's enough to minimize konvi for a few seconds to see this (then the "recovery time" is perhaps only 30s short) Expected Results: no delays regarding GUI updates

This also happens for konversations release version 1.5.
I can reproduce this for v 1.5 master 4303. Minimising for a few seconds only is not enough, it has to be a minute at least, approximately. It's hard to be sure, but it appears that resizing the window even by a little bit unblocks the situation. Marko: do you see the same thing when you hide the whole application instead of just minimising the main window? you could try to see if konversation overrides any of the related event handlers, e.g. to switch to "away" as soon as you minimise the window, and/or if it does (is supposed to do) something when you restore the window. I'd start by setting a breakpoint there, and see if that event arrives as soon as the window is restored, or at some later time.
RJVB, are you on OS X as well?
Yes, running kdelibs git/kde4.14 . A thought: we have Qt 4.8.6 in MacPorts, which AFAIK isn't yet very commonly used on Linux. I have it on my Kubuntu system too, will see if that has anything to do with the issue and report back if it does.

Yes, you are right, resizing it unfreezes the window. > Marko: do you see the same thing when you hide the whole application instead > of just minimising the main window? Hey, NO! Turns out no freeze there! :) > you could try to see if konversation overrides ... > I'd start by setting a breakpoint there, and see if that event arrives as > soon as the window is restored, or at some later time. There? I've no clue where to set any breakpoint, as I don't know konvi's source code by any means. ;-) I'd probably need more than just such a pointer as to where to look for, actually. ;-) Would be fabulous though if we could locate the reason for this behaviour, as I use to minimise windows quite often... I admit, I've learnt by now to avoid this habit with konvi! :-/

This no longer appears to be an issue.
