Overview: Whenever Atom text editor is opened, latte-dock's CPU usage goes up from <1% to ~25%. At the same time, Atom's usage also reaches around 25%. This results in a pronounced slowdown. Minimizing/maximizing windows slows, as well as highlighting when hovering over the dock. This stabilizes after 15-20 seconds. However, the slowdown happens again when hovering over or interacting in any way with the dock. Can be replicated repeatedly. Tested with a number of other applications, none of which duplicate this bug. Steps to Reproduce: 1) install latte-dock via sudo apt install latte-dock 2) install atom via sudo snap install atom 3) open latte-dock 4) open atom Latte dock installed via apt. Latte version 0.7.4 Atom installed via snap. Atom version 1.27.2. OS: Kubuntu 18.04, 64-bit KDE Plasma version 5.12.5 Qt version 5.9.5
are you using global menu?
I reproduced this by using the plasma application menu bar. The plasmashell process after the atom editor opened was using constantly 100% of one of my processors
Please tell Atom to update their Electron version, this has been fixed in Electron more than a year ago: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8455
