Summary0000298: GUI Locks Up in 0.9beta11.2
DescriptionIn response to a bugnote against bug#0000280, I rebuilt and installed ardour using the official 0.9beta11.2 release, unfortunately a new problem with the ardour GUI was discovered in 0.9beta11.2. The GUI is now freezing up whenever I try to use basic features like zoom to session width or show/hide automation tracks. This behavior was identical whether I ran a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel, or if I ran low latency, e.g., 3 ms or high latency, e.g., 48 ms. This problem also persisted after I replaced the ardour.rc file in my home directory with a new copy generated by the new version of ardour.
Additional InformationMy system is an Abit BX6-R2 with a Pentium III 450 (Katmai), 768 MB RAM, Hammerfall DSP 9652, using reiserfs as the filesystem for all partitions, and jack-audio-connection-kit-0.94.0 compiled /dev/shm on tmpfs. IRQs, AGP, and hard drive settings have been optimized per Linux Audio FAQs. In addition, all unnecessary services are stopped by a script that loads jackd and ardour, and the reiserfs partitions are mounted with the notail,noatime options.

I was able to resolve this issue in a recent cvs build of ardour, i.e., Ardour/GTK 0.461.0 running with libardour 0.735.1. What had to be done was to load a session with no automation whatsoever, then hit the zoom functions a few times. Zoom to session width and the other zoom functions worked fine after I discovered this workaround, even in the sessions that caused the GUI to lockup.

Given the above, I recommend this bug be marked as closed.
