Riot slows down after opening sticker picker

[anoadragon453]

Description

Riot slows down considerably after opening the sticker picker. It slows to the point where typing even becomes slow. This is on fairly decent hardware. It continues to be sluggish even after the picker has been closed, and you navigate to different rooms. Performance only improves once Riot is restarted.

Steps to reproduce

• Open sticker picker
• Riot is slow oh noo :(

Version information

• Platform: Desktop
• OS: Debian Linux (Testing)
• Version: 0.15.3

Hi @anoadragon453, thanks for reporting. I'd be interested to know if you had the videoplasty (animated gif) stickerpack enabled when seeing this? I think that all of the GIFs attempting to play at the same time can considerably slow things down on some hardware. I think that the solution to this is probably just to have GIFs animate on hover only.

I believe so, however the application slows down even with the Sticker Picker dismissed, and after switching to other rooms. Perhaps the gifs are still animating in the background, as the view isn't getting unloaded?

Urrrgh... that would be unfortunate if that is the case (and needs looking in to quite urgently if so). @lampholder -- Copying you for your visibility.

If you'd like to do some live debugging, I'm sitting just across from you :)

Thanks 👍 :). It's possible that this might end up on the riot-web team's radar before mine though.

[anoadragon453]

Ftr this is happening on my Ubuntu desktop as well :/

I think that this should be fixed on /develop now (due to various fixes / enhancements). @anoadragon453 - I'm going to assume that this is fixed for the time being and close the issue, but please let me know if you are still seeing issues.

[anoadragon453]

It is fixed, thank you!
