After clicking the panel icon, it shows the dark background as if pressed, but that's all I get. Entire system freezes for around 5-10 seconds, only mouse can move. It used to work before, dunno what's up. Also, this happens only to the standalone applet, if it's contained in "Indicator area" or whatever it's called, it works fine. XFCE 10
If I run xfce4-clipman from the command line, it seems to work... but if until I bring up xfce4-screenshooter. At that point I get an error in the console and clipman aborts: ** (xfce4-clipman:1437): WARNING **: Status Icon is not embedded (xfce4-clipman:1437): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_destroy: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed perhaps this is a different bug entirely... I don't know.
what panel are you running? what notification area are you running? xfce4-panel comes with a notifcation area plugin, so do other panels.
(In reply to Mike Massonnet from comment #2) > what panel are you running? what notification area are you running? > > xfce4-panel comes with a notifcation area plugin, so do other panels. I'm running xfce4-panel, xfce4-clipman and xfce4-indicatorplugin. xfce4-panel is 4.10.1, the others refuse to reveal version using "--version".
Created attachment 6517 Strace output from time when issue occurs For what it's worth, I also see this. It used to work until I changed the history from 10 to 1000. Went back to 500 and 10, but no improvement. Attached an strace during the time the problem occurs. Happy to help debug effort if you need more info. xfce-panel 4.11.0
Killing it (and letting it restart) didn't help. Removing it and re-adding it did help, and I've even been able to go to 100 in the history with no strange behaviour.
Another update. It started to hang again. Have removed, trying again with the history on the default of 10.
And it hangs again. Removed until there's a fix or some way to debug what's happening.
I'm closing this report as it is really old and I cannot reproduce it. Feel free to either re-open or report a new bug if this problem still occurs.
