xmgrace click on curve but hang sometimes.. what is the reason?
by centguy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5SEXK)
I am on CentOS 7. Not sure this is specific to CentOS 7 or
there is some kind of X11/Wayland stuff that triggers
a bug that I have not seen before.
When I use xmgrace software to plot a graph, in the past, clicking
on the curve to start a window "Grace: Set Appearance"
is very robust. I remember on CentOS 6 and gnome2 life was so good with
xmgrace.
When the latest Linux xorg/wayland (? I cannot even pinpoint
what went wrong), the clicking
on that sometimes cause a small black wheel to keep turning without
making a window to pop up. It hangs!!
This is really annoying since I am trying to focus to analyse the
data.
I tried to report such bug in grace forum but the site
seems dead. It has been dead for many months.
So I am just curious this is to due to some package problem that
trigger this bug? Any one has such experience?
Also when I logout and restart the session the problem goes away.
This is very annoying since i am losing something precious in linux
environment -- consistency.
Do I have to migrate to another distro just because of a silly
bug like this?
