SUMMARY The UI freezes and becomes unresponsive when one tries to open a room into a new window Seems to only affect weak hardware though. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open NeoChat and login 2. Open a room into a new window OBSERVED RESULT UI freezes and becomes unresponsive until the new window shows up EXPECTED RESULT UI should not freeze SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Linux Mint 20 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.8 NeoChat: 22.04 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 HARDWARE Kernel Version: 5.4.0-121-generic OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × AMD E2-7110 APU with AMD Radeon R2 Graphics Memory: 6,7 GiB
How long does it freeze? I guess there's not a lot we can do about that since when the qml engine is working on creating the new window, it can't also update the main window at the same time

On the laptop with the specs above, the freeze is like ~2 seconds. On my current pc there's also a freeze, but barely noticeable.
There isn't a lot we can really do about that other than general performance optimizations
