I am not certain whether this is a bug or mis-configuration (or possibly both).
Since upgrading my desktop computer to Ubuntu 24.04, I have very poor and somewhat weird performance in OnlyOffice Desktop Editors only when working in a Wayland session. That is, everything seems fine when running in an X windows session. The problems I see under Wayland are primarily:
-
The part of the window containing the document occasionally becomes transparent, showing whatever is under the editor window. The surrounding controls, menu bar etc remain in place and visible.
-
Inserting text is very “laggy”, to the point of being almost impossible to use. What I mean by this is that text appears a couple of seconds after being typed, which becomes a huge problem when for example trying to correct a spelling mistake.
Here is my configuration:
- OnlyOffice version 8.0.1.31 (deb) installed using apt
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fresh install on new M2SSD, updated as updates offered
- GNOME version 46
- Kernel 6.8.0-35-generic
- AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 32GB memory 1TB M2SSD
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, Samsung 5120 X 1440 120Hz monitor 100% scale fractional scaling off
- NVIDIA driver version 535 (proprietary, tested) recommended
It may be worth mentioning that I ran into two Wayland - NVIDIA driver issues when I moved from Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04:
- bug Bug #2065791 “incorrect screen resolution in wayland session” : Bugs : nvidia-graphics-drivers-535 package : Ubuntu which gave an incorrect screen resolution and was remedied by the workaround described in the bug report at the bottom
- bug Bug #2060268 “Phantom “Unknown Display” shown in Settings after ...” : Bugs : nvidia-graphics-drivers-550 package : Ubuntu which created a “phantom monitor” and was remedied by the workaround described in the bug report near the middle
I am happy to test configuration changes or patches or whatever to move this ahead. Thanks very much in advance.
