Canvas slowdown at startup if there is any dialog with a Font List widget opened (Text and Font/Unicode Characters)
Reproduction
- Inkscape 1.1-dev (62d8a51883, 2021-01-11) (Debug Build, MX Linux 19.3)
- Inkscape 1.0beta1 (7c928d9e08, 2019-10-11) debug build Linux Mint 19.1
- Inkscape 1.0beta1 2019-08-01-60156dc appimage Linux Mint 19.1
- Inkscape 1.0alpha (9dee831, 2019-01-15) appimage Linux Mint 19.1
- Not replicated in 0.92.x debug build Linux Mint 19.1
- Open Inkscape && Close the
Welcome Screen
(ESC
) - Create a few objects.
- Open the
Text and Font
(Ctrl + Shift + T
) orUnicode Characters
[Text
>Unicode Characters
] dialog, and just after that - Try to scroll or pan.
Also:
- leave the dialog open and then restart Inkscape.
Consequences
Unresponsive canvas, presumably while Inkscape loads. The delay is larger the more fonts you have.
Video showing opening dialog after objects created, and opening Inkscape with dialog open.
Expectations
No delay, or some feedback indicating the delay is occurring.
