----------------------------+-----------------------------
I am using Haiku nightly builds (currently on hrev56609) in a qemu VM
under Linux (currently using GNOME Boxes for managing this). Since a
recent update the UI starts to become unresponsive after a short while of
usage. I can't exactly pin it down when it happened, but sometime the last
two weeks.
The symptoms are:
- Initially the system works as normal
- After a while I notice that UI partially stops working. I can't launch
applications, desktop context menu does not work. But other parts work,
e.g. I can open the task menu and move windows
- Shortly after moving windows starts producing artifacts
At that point the system has become very much unusable to a degree that I
can't really check anything (e.g. running processes or logs). That makes
it difficult to figure out the root cause.
I also could not figure out when this will happen. It sometimes happens
very early, or I can use Haiku for a while.
I'm happy for any pointers hat might help tracking down the actual cause
for this issue.
