SUMMARY Very often (but not always) when downloading images with "Save image as...", Falkon freezes for seconds before resuming. The images don't have to be large. It doesn't seem to matter which site or image. I'm on ArchLinux. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right-click on any image. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Falkon freezes for seconds before resuming. Image is saved. EXPECTED RESULT Falkon operates normally while/after/before image is saved. Image is saved. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux wintermute 4.18.16-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 20 22:06:45 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux local/plasma-framework 5.53.0-1 (kf5) local/plasma-framework 5.53.0-1 (kf5) Plasma library and runtime components based upon KF5 and Qt5 local/plasma-integration 5.14.4-2 (plasma) Qt Platform Theme integration plugins for the Plasma workspaces local/plasma-workspace 5.14.4-1 (plasma) KDE Plasma Workspace Qt Version: local/qt5-base 5.12.0-1 (qt qt5) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Will be happy to provide additional information and perform additional tests, as I would love to replace Chromium with Falkon. :-)
Sorry, forgot to finish the "Steps" section: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right-click on any image. 2. Choose "Save image as..." 3. Choose path and confirm 4. Watch Falkon freeze. Also, I saw that Falkon just seems to call Qt's QWebEnginePage::DownloadImageToDisk, so the bug might be in there. I didn't check their source code yet.
Download dialog (from download offer to selecting path where to save it) is blocking due to QtWebEngine API, there is unfortunately no way around it.
(In reply to David Rosca from comment #2) > Download dialog (from download offer to selecting path where to save it) is > blocking due to QtWebEngine API, there is unfortunately no way around it. Will you report the slowness of the QtWebEngine call to upstream (QtWebengine team)? It doesn't seem to be normal behavior in their library.
Leslie I can't seem to replicate this issue on Falkon 3.1.0 with Qt 5.14.2. Can you please confirm if this is still an issue for you, thanks.
