Using the new pgtk flag to compile, menu bar items are very slow to
appear using a mouse e.g. clicking the Tools menu, the menu appears
after about a second delay.

Similarly clicking to dismiss menus or select/de-select sub menus
are delayed too.

There is no delay using the keyboard (F10).

Moving between menus with the keyboard has no delay either.

I'm not sure if related, but scrolling a buffer using the mouse wheel is
is also not as smooth as before.

Using --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 instead of --with-pgtk does not lag.

Regards,

bhrgunatha

Could you please set a breakpoint on `menu_bar_button_pressed_cb' in
gtkutil.c, and see how many times it is called?

That callback being triggered too rapidly seems to be the most likely
problem.

By the way, are you running Emacs on Wayland?

If not, I recommend you use the regular X build instead, since it is
simply superior to the PGTK port.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay, I had to learn how to debug emacs first.

According to gdb it only hits that callback function 6 times (after 
starting emacs, selecting menu items a couple of times, then using the 
menu to quit emacs).
I'm not using wayland yet and was just experimenting with the new pgtk 
feature and the only issue I had was the menu lag.

I'm not sure what else I can offer.

I will continue with the regular X build, thanks.

Hmm, that seems odd.  I can't reproduce this, but I'll leave this issue
open if some wiser person knows what's going on.

Thanks.
