Relative to the 0.80.2 version, this version has exhibited poor performance: the new font handling seems to have made off-screen menu scrolling very slow (depending on the font used in the menu) - some of the text in WPrefs is cut off above and below too. The mouse cursor (silver x) now annoyingly flickers heavily when there is a lot of disk activity, Screen updating seems much slower now, especially when dragging windows across each other.
The screen updating issue is not windowmaker specific. It happens with fluxbox too so I think it may be an xorg-x11 problem. Same goes for the mouse-cursor flickering.
seems I maintain windowmaker now ;-) reassigning
The screen flickering, as far as I can tell, is definitely related to Xorg more so than WindowMaker itself. I'll keep this bug open for a good while longer, especially to test with Xorg-6.8.X whenever that stabilizes across different arches. However, in the end, not sure if there's much that can be done.
things do seem incredibly speedy with Xorg-6.8.2. I'm not sure if this bug is still valid -- if I don't hear back soon-ish, I'm going to marked this bug closed.
No - close it: the performance problems are not specific to this WM and may be caused by the memory leak bug #82073. Only the WPrefs text cut-off is a windowmaker specific bug.
Checking into text getting cut off in WPrefs.app (trying to recreate it, but can't), but otherwise, this bug is now closed.
mis labeled reason, reopening
"invalid" so far as performance issues aren't related to WM.
