[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#899215: kicad: eeschema is sluggish

[David Tomaschik]

Package: kicad
Version: 5.0.0~rc1+dfsg1+20180318-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When loading eeschema in the 5.0.0-rc1 version from experimental, the schematic
editor is very sluggish.  There is a thread about this on the kicad forums here:

https://forum.kicad.info/t/debian-kicad-5-0-0-rc2-dev-eeschema-sluggish/10464

It appears to be related to USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT, but that seems necessary to
use with wxwidgets linked with Gtk3.  I don't know what workarounds are
possible.
