Bug 14092 – Webkit 522.11 Slows message rendering in ichat & Adium

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Adam Williams]

In ichat and Adium:
there may be a delay when a message is entered before it comes on screen. Sometimes it's a few seconds before it appears. Behavior is exactly the same in both apps with new webkit installed by Safari 3. have also noticed parsing errors appearing in console with messages containing converted characters to html table equivalents

in HTML string: i said "so did you hear about new leopard beta yet??"

I have found that by hitting return a second time forces the delay to end and the message to appear immediately.

[Adam Williams]

Thanks  Alexander Romanovich you are correct I confirm that as well.

I am experiencing this problem as well. I uninstalled Safari 3 beta and the problem cleared up. Re-installed Safari beta and the problem reappears.

It doesn't happen every time, but when I hit return to send a message, a cloud appears next to my picture in the message transcript part of the window with (...} as if I'm still typing a message. I can hit any key and the message gets sent. Delete, return - all of them prompt the message to complete and be sent.

Interestingly - in iChat at least - the message *is* sent when you hit enter the first time (you can confirm this with an account on another machine in the same room) - it's just not visibly updated as such locally.

This is in radar at <rdar://problem/5266289>

I can confirm that safari 3.0.2 and webkit 522.12 has fixed this problem. Provided everyone can confirm this I think it's safe to mark as fixed. :)

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Radar is closed as fixed too.
