Comments on: Manual Eclipse install in Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.10 http://www.without-brains.net/archives/64 A software developer's blog Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:37:17 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mark http://www.without-brains.net/archives/64/comment-page-1#comment-160 Mark Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:37:17 +0000 http://www.without-brains.net/?p=64#comment-160 Hi Fritz, I have 9.10 running smoothly now, and I am very happy with it (I am not experiencing any of the problems that you are describing). In this post I was specifically talking about using Eclipse, I didn't experience UI unresponsiveness in other applications. I hope that the Ubuntu team and/or community can help you out with your problem. Cheers, Mark Hi Fritz,

Click on icons sometimes does not respond. 2. If you linger on a link or icon a floating icon appears that is difficult to dismiss and prevents action 3. The scrollbar sticks - once it this mode moving the mouse anywhere in the window causes scroll; for example - highlight this message and use copy - scrollbar becomes active. It appears that Ubuntu is trying to handle the iPhone gestures - If during the highlight operation scroll is necessary then it is likelly that scrolling becomes sticky. 4. Closing (probably related to 1), takes forever to recognise that cursor is on top of close. then takes many clicks tor action to complete. 5. Unresponsive. For example I highlight this message (speed Ok), with context menu chose Copy (slow), click on Applications (takes many clicks to open), from Accessories chose gedit (speed Ok), click on edit (slow or takes more than one try), paste (speeed Ok). 6. Return back to continuing this message (takes many tries). 7. Show window for gedit and click on File (slow), Save As (takes many tries) Excuse the long rant. I will submit to ubuntu.
