Greetings . . .

I've installed the newest GIMP, 2.10.x, and I've observed and endured a phe= nomenon that I've previously found in other new Gnome apps running under TD= E: functions such as scrolling and slider bars are very slow. The mouse p= ointer moves as quickly as expected, but the scroll/slide pokes along and s= ometimes comes to a complete halt. Is there a setting someplace that will l= et me use Gnome apps under TDE and have the mouse work as well as it does i= n native Gnome? I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Thanks in advance. dep

Sorry Dep,

I don't see that behavior here. Perhaps it's hardware related? I had to update my T60's spin drive to SSD in order to run PCLOS Big Daddy 64bit. BD64b with a spin drive was very very slow and gtk apps were notably slower than tde apps.

Here are some other details. GIMP 2.10.10 Intel 1.8 GHZ 4G RAM WD SSD 1tb.

Thanks for the information and no, it doesn't seem to apply here. It's not a lack of horsepower, it's something else. I have some (kinda clumsy, but they'll do) workarounds; was just hoping to fix it because otherwise GIMP 2.10.10 is spectacularly good. Adding to the puzzle is that if I boot into a Gnome session, the problem doesn't exist, so it's clearly some dispute between TDE and things Gnomish.
