[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#574966: lxterminal: Slow window update and sometimes never completed

Subject: lxterminal: Slow window update and sometimes never completed
Package: lxterminal
Version: 0.1.7-1
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

After upgrading lxterminal from version 0.1.6-1 to 0.1.7-1, the window
has become much slower to update. It's always visible when I change
the size of the window by dragging one of its corner using the
mouse. It takes about 1-2 seconds before the window is updated. There
wasn't any such delay before.

If I jump from one desktop to another using a keyboard shortcut
(Cntrl-F1 bound to "Switch to workspace 1" by me) then the window
often doesn't fully update at all. I see some parts of the previous
desktop instead of the whole lxterminal (especially the upper window
border). If I then resize the lxterminal window a little it updates
fully. During the 1-2 seconds delay the whole screen is frozen with
the old desktop. If I want to switch quickly as usual to this desktop,
then I can keep the lxterminal window minimized.

The delay problem regards to both the Gnome desktop and LXDE. It also
appears with a fresh newly created user with default
configuration. The "uncompleted window update" problem is more
difficult to repeat and I have seen it only in Gnome.

The problems disappear if I downgrade lxterminal to 0.1.6-1 and
restart it. Also the nice new feature to be able to open an URL from
lxterminal to a web browser disappears. That is maybe a clue. The
gnome-terminal has had this delay problem for years and also this URL
opening feature. In fact, I changed from gnome-terminal to lxterminal
mostly because of this delay problem.
