Version 6.0.0-4 beta: search window disappears upon third key press #1308
Comments
I find the following in the syslog. Yet, given that, on my system, anything ulauncher launches ends up logging under the name 'ulauncher', the log entry may be irrelevant to the bug that I reported above.

Any C/C++ code are happening outside of our code. Ulauncher's main process is loading Gtk, which is written in C, so some C-errors should actually be in the log output of Ulauncher, although we can't fix them, we can possibly work around them. However this seems to be an unrelated issue from Chromium (or Chromium-based browser). The other ones were likely also Chromium (first one) and seemingly a file manager for the second one (searching the error seemed to suggest Nautilus or a Nautilus fork). So this error is likely unrelated to the issue (even if the desktop entry is a chromium app). Also, could you try running |
Here you go. The first time that I followed your instructions, I could not generate a crash. The second time though - and I supply the terminal log for that - I did get a crash. However, I fear the log contains nothing useful. (When I first posted, I did at one point manage to get a log-in-terminal; but seemingly that log showed nothing that the 'last' log did not. Hence in my original report I posted the - identical? - 'last log.) I note that the offending file lives here:

Thank you. I suspect there's nothing directly "wrong" we're doing that would generate an error. It's just a performance issue in a lower layer code. Will have to look more at this later but one thing that could help is optimizing AppMode.py. What type of hard drive do you have? We have probably only tested with SSDs so far, so if you have a HDD (spinning platters) that could be why. |
I have two laptops. One has a SATA III SSD, 8GB RAM, and an Intel 3rd gen. processor. The other has a NVMe drive, 16 GB, and a fairly recent quad-core. Both laptops are in good working order. Yet, is this really a performance issue? I am fairly sure that, after the third keypress, nothing happens even after a minute or so. More: when I removed the particular .desktop file that I mentioned, I no longer had the problem. |
I guess not performance related then. |

Bug description
I got up the search box. I pressed 'b' and then 'b' again and at that point a custom launcher (a .desktop file) is selected. If I then press 'c' the search box disappears and nothing further happens. Note that I did not press .
Here is the content of the file, that file being called
BBC iPlayer.desktop
.Oddly, I reproduced the bug some three times successively and now, suddenly, the crash (/disappearance of the window) does not occur. The log below is from the 'last.log'. EDIT: and now the bug is manifesting itself again!
