Subject: 29.0.50; (iconify-frame) freezes buffer view under Wayland.
Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2022 20:06:49 +0200

* (iconify-frame) freezes buffer view under Wayland.  *
This issue is not present under X11 sessions.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run 'emacs -Q' within a (e.g. KDE Plasma) Wayland session.
2. Input 'M-x iconify-frame C-m'.
3. Maximize emacs again.

Expected Behavior: Buffer area keeps on updating itself.

Observed Behavior: Buffer area freezes at the moment where
'C-m' is put in. The menu bar updates as normal.
Emacs responds to user input without redrawing the buffer area.

I think this is a GTK bug, where the developers neglected to maintain
the iconification state on Wayland after GNOME removed the minimize
button from window title bars.

Can you set a breakpoint here (in pgtkterm.c), and see if it is ever hit
when you deiconify Emacs?

  if (event->window_state.new_window_state
      & GDK_WINDOW_STATE_ICONIFIED)
    SET_FRAME_ICONIFIED (f, true);
  else
    {
-->   FRAME_X_OUTPUT (f)->has_been_visible = true;
      inev.ie.kind = DEICONIFY_EVENT;
      XSETFRAME (inev.ie.frame_or_window, f);
      SET_FRAME_ICONIFIED (f, false);
    }

This breakpoint actually hits whenever the emacs frame gets focus, and 
makes debugging quite annoying.
However, by inputting M-x + <tab> during the breakpoint and using the 
mouse when the frame does not
have focus, it is possible to execute (iconify-frame) interactively 
after triggering the breakpoint.

Here's the strange thing: when a breakpoint is set there, the issue is 
not present; when the breakpoint
is deleted and the procedure repeated, the issue reappears.

I would conjecture that this has to do with the state of the frame at 
the moment of (de-)/iconification,
since when the breakpoint IS present, I would have to be looking at gdb, 
cycling through 'continue's.

I didn't understand what you said, but I guess you should make the
breakpoint conditional on "FRAME_ICONIFIED_P (f)".

I didn't quite understand the text here, either.  whainte, are you still
seeing this problem, and if so, can you try Po's suggestion?

I have tried to reproduce this but failed.

Yes.

>>> Here's the strange thing: when a breakpoint is set there, the issue is
>>> not present; when the breakpoint
>>> is deleted and the procedure repeated, the issue reappears.

I tried:
1. In GDB, setup the breakpoint.
2. When the emacs got focus, switch to GDB prompt and run `continue'.
3. Switch back to the Emacs window, it should now stuck. Hit C-z, then
switch to GDB prompt and run `continue'.
4. Emacs should iconify itself. Deiconify it. It'll hit breakpoint
again. switch to GDB prompt and run `continue'.
5. Select Help in the menu bar. It'll hit breakpoint. switch to GDB
prompt and run `continue'.
6. The menu should pop up. run the Emacs tutorial.
7. Scroll in the Emacs window.

The Emacs tutorial can be scrolled.
However when I disable the breakpoint, When I deiconified the Emacs
window, it doesn't update even I tried to launch Emacs tutorial.

I tried, but GDB failed to setup this condition with:
No symbol "FRAME_ICONIFIED_P" in current context.

Hmm, okay, how about "f->iconified == true"?

I can setup a condition of f->iconified.

So:

1. Setup GDB to break at the location you said, which (I believe) is src/pgtkterm.c:5507
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/src/pgtkterm.c#n5507
2. Setup a condition of f->iconified on the breakpoint.
3. Start Emacs PGTK and iconify it. It'll hit breakpoint. run `continue'
in GDB.
4. Deiconify it. This breakpoint won't be hit.

Feel free to ask me to provide more infomation.

Does the bug still happen with this patch applied?  It does mean that
iconification will no longer be reported correctly, but GDK simply
doesn't report iconification state to programs on Wayland.

Sorry, for whatever reason the mail was lost and not found in debbugs so
I have to resend it again.

That's to be expected.  It turns out that programmatically deiconifying
a window isn't supported by the Wayland protocol (see here:
https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-shell#xdg_toplevel is missing a
function corresponding to "SetMinimized" to disable the minimized
state), so GDK and Emacs don't support it either.

>> But when I apply your patch, running

I'm not sure what you mean by that.  What happens if you comment out
every call to `SET_FRAME_ICONIFIED' in pgtkterm.c?

1. Apply your said patch and build Emacs.
2. Run emacs and M-x server-start.
3. Run emacsclient -e '(iconify-or-deiconify-frame)' to iconify it.
4. Deiconify it. This window won't refresh when I try to run Emacs
tutorial from the menu bar.

The bug can still happen, which means even commenting every call to
SET_FRAME_ICONIFIED, Emacs is still unable to update frame when
iconified using C-z.

I'm stumped.  Does anyone know if other code (outside *term.c) also does
SET_FRAME_ICONIFIED?  I can't find anything.

Is that on Wayland or X?

Note that the PGTK build does not support X anyway, but please try this:

It'd be interesting to see why GDK sends map events in that case.

Before I install that change, I'd like to ask you what Wayland
compositor you are using, and how you deiconified the frame.

Thanks.

What if you use GNOME Shell?  The problem is no window state changes are
normally sent by GDK under Wayland, so Emacs doesn't even get to the
piece of code that clears FRAME_ICONIFIED_P.

That's really odd.  But I think I now know what's going on.

Could you install debug info for GDK, put breakpoints on both
window_state_event (in pgtkterm.c) and
gdk_wayland_window_handle_configure (in gdkwindow-wayland.c)?

Please see whether the former is called after the latter, and in doing
so clears the iconified flag?

I don't know how to set the second breakpoint :-|

This is what I have done:

1. Installed packages gtk3-debugsource, gtk3-devel-debuginfo, libgtk-3-0-debuginfo

After that, I can see the file at:
/usr/src/debug/gtk3-3.24.31-150400.1.11.x86_64/gdk/wayland/gdkwindow-wayland.c

2.

You should simply be able to type "b gdk_wayland_window_handle_configure".

Thanks in advance.

This is what I see:

1. The breakpoint at gdk_wayland_window_handle_configure is never reached.
   I have tried with both patches discussed above, and the master branch
   with no success: such breakpoint is not reached.

2. I have played with the following patch that also fixes the issue in my
   machine:

That's shocking.  I will look into this further myself (in a Wayland
session.)

It turned out I was missing some debugging symbols.
Once iinstalled all the debugging symbols the breakpoint is reached as 
expected.

The iconified flag is cleared, but I cannot tell you where this happens.
Of course, that prevents us to enter in the `if` branch at line 5472:
if (FRAME_ICONIFIED_P (f))


My two fixes point to the `else` branch at line 5505:

```
  if (new_state & GDK_WINDOW_STATE_ICONIFIED)
    SET_FRAME_ICONIFIED (f, true);
  else
    {
      FRAME_X_OUTPUT (f)->has_been_visible = true;
      inev.ie.kind = DEICONIFY_EVENT;
      XSETFRAME (inev.ie.frame_or_window, f);
      SET_FRAME_ICONIFIED (f, false);
    }
```

1. The first one "extends" this branch by adding this line:

SET_FRAME_VISIBLE (f, 1);

2. The second one just removes that `else` branch.

Both seems to fix the issue in my Wayland session.

Thanks.

I decided to take another look at this today.  What GDK does is a hack
that works for some people: after a window is iconified, it sends a
configure event containing the iconified state to the program.  Upon the
next xdg_toplevel.configure event, it assumes the window has been
deiconified.

That is wrong!  In many situations, it is valid for the compositor to
send yet another toplevel configure event.  For example, the pager
component of the compositor may want the program to resize its toplevel
before it displays a preview of said toplevel to the user.

It is also valid for the compositor to deiconify a frame without
focusing it, or changing any state at all (which would entail sending a
configure event.)

However, with something similar the second change, it seems to work for
at least half of our users, which is better than having iconification
work for nobody at all.  So would you be so kind as to check if the bug
is now fixed on master?

(It may take some time for me to push: savannah seems to be having
problems ATM.)
