#4260: [ScreenSaver] freezes when switching screensavers ---------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: diver | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Preferences/ScreenSaver | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ---------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by axeld): I actually see little reason why the ModulesView has to wait until Quit() returns, anyway -- once that call is made, the screen saver cannot access the window anymore (well, not visually, that is). Not that I'm deep into the code, but I think I would add a ScreenSaverRunner::QuitAsync() that just sets fQuitting to `true` (and call Resume()), and Quit() would just call this one, and wait until the thread returns. ModulesView could then call QuitAsync(), and offload the destruction of the saver into another thread (ie. only this one would then call Quit()). -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/4260#comment:8> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
