Xfce mousepad text editor takes a lot of time to exit.

Hi
As I am a happy user of XFCE, I have a strange problem with great mousepad.

1. Open text file with mousepad.
2. Copy the text.
3. Try to shut down mousepad, and it takes 5-10 seconds before it shuts down. hmm

What may be the problem ?

Leafpad has the same problem. I have never found out that copying text is the problem. Interesting.

Re: Xfce mousepad text editor takes a lot of time to exit.

Till last week, I was using LXDE in Arch and plain old openbox in debian (for about 3-4 years).. I use Leafpad (and have used mousepad also for a brief period)
I have to say I have never seen this problem. I am sure I have encountered this copying and closing use case many a times..

One thing is that I always used run parcelite clipboard manager..

Re: Xfce mousepad text editor takes a lot of time to exit.

For me, removing the Clipman plugin solved the issue for mousepad & xfce.

Nope, removing clipman doesn't help. Any other ideas ?

Re: Xfce mousepad text editor takes a lot of time to exit.

Another thing I noticed after a fresh xfce install was that the permissions were messed up in ~/.config/mousepad and ownership was set to root.(it was generating an error on shutdown using dbus-launch) So I took ownership and set permissions to 755. That was the only other thing I did. Anyway, it's working perfectly for me.

Re: Xfce mousepad text editor takes a lot of time to exit.

Same problem with mousepad here, too. I got the advice to switch over to leafpad, but I now use gvim or gedit.gedit is maybe the easier one ;-) I was told that there isn't really a developer working on mousepad and that there are many unfixed bugs in it. I really like Xfce but it seems, they need some more devs, there are many unmaintained Xfce-programs. Maybe Gnome 3 is bringing some new developer to Xfce.

Re: Xfce mousepad text editor takes a lot of time to exit.

also on xfce, and i can confirm that this also appens with:
- geany
- gnumeric

Sometimes the delay is only noticed when I above run from cmdline.

Does the delay happen only in xfce environment? How about other environments like lxde or fluxbox, openbox or even gnome? Do same applications (geany, leafpad, mousepad, gnumeric) behave the same way there too?

I just want to understand if this is a problem with xfce or individual apps..

Re: Xfce mousepad text editor takes a lot of time to exit.

Hey, I've had this problem with Mousepad forever, but had never noticed it happened after copying some text! That's a good find smile.

If I copy text in another app before closing Mousepad, there is no delay.

I'm not using Clipman (because it crashes as soon as I copy something in Code::Blocks.)

It also happens with geany; even though it closes its window immediately, it doesn't return control to the shell until a few seconds later.

Running Xfce.

Maybe you should file this as a bug in xfce as the behaviour is limited to xfce alone

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7588 looks like it is clipboard manager related.

May be, you are install xclip and xfce4-clipman-plugin.
I removed xclip in my computer, problem solved for me.

Re: Xfce mousepad text editor takes a lot of time to exit.

Nope, I have clipman installed and the problem was solved some time ago. One of the updates fixed the bug, but i don't know which one. smile
