Wavebox window and tray icon unresponsive #9

mapkiwi · 2017-04-06T03:02:12Z

Which version of Wavebox are you using? 3.1.2
Which Operating System are you using? Windows 10 Home 64bit

I've been experiencing freezes where the app has become completely unresponsive (also sometimes happened in most recent Wmail prerelease). The tray icon is also unresponsive too; right clicking on it just brings up the taskbar option menu, so it can't be closed or restarted. The only way to restart the program is to kill each process in Task Manager separately.

Just tried out Wavebox today after using Wmail up to this point, premium looks interesting but not sure I can justify it if the software is buggy still. Hope you can fix!

Thomas101 · 2017-04-06T08:06:14Z

Hi, sorry to hear you've been having trouble. We'd love to find out what the underlying issue is and get a fix out. It would be really helpful to have a bit more info about your machine and how Wavebox is setup

How many accounts have you got added to Wavebox?
Do you have an antivirus installed & if so do you know which one?
If you go to Control Panel > System and Security > System, could you send me a screenshot or the info about which processor you have and how much RAM your machine has

Thanks!

Thomas101 · 2017-04-06T08:12:10Z

According to some electron issues there may be some logging info coming out from Wavebox. If you're feeling really brave you can get these from the command prompt.

Quit Wavebox
Open the command prompt
Run AppData\Local\wavebox\Wavebox.exe --enable-logging

You should get a new command prompt and Wavebox will log a few bits out. Would you be able to send a screenshot of that?

Thanks

mapkiwi · 2017-04-06T08:58:45Z

I've got 1 Google account (with Inbox and 5 services), one Slack, one Trello and two web pages. All are slept except the inbox and one of the web pages.
I use Windows Defender.
Processor is an Intel Core i7-4712MQ @ 2.30GHz, 16 GB of RAM.

I've attached the log, hopefully that helps.

Thomas101 · 2017-04-06T09:33:45Z

Thanks for that & the log info. Nothing looks too obvious there. I'll dig a bit deeper and have a word with the team here to see if they can think of anything.

mapkiwi · 2017-04-10T06:57:58Z

I've tried removing the Slack and Trello accounts and in the few days since I haven't come across the issue. Looks like the issue could be related to them specifically, or maybe having more accounts added.

Thomas101 · 2017-04-10T08:45:32Z

Nice find! I've added some tools in to measure database performance. When I do the next release would you mind running these? I'm hoping it might give some clues as to what's going on

Thomas101 · 2017-04-10T15:13:27Z

Hi I've added some debugging tools for this in 3.1.3 which has just been released. Wavebox will autoupdate shortly or if you want to get it sooner you can either re-launch Wavebox to trigger an autoupdate or redownload from https://wavebox.io/download

Once you've updated would you be able to re-add your Trello and Slack accounts and wait for the freezing behaviour to reappear then give the following a try?

Could you go to View > Developer Tools and click on the console tab. Then can you type (or copy/paste) window.waveboxDebug.tests.analyzeMailboxesDatabase() and send me a screenshot of what comes out?
Try going to the settings for each account and toggling Sleep tab when not in use to see if that has any performance impact. This will give us an idea of where the freezing may be coming from

Thanks for your help!

Thomas101 · 2017-04-13T07:31:38Z

@weaversam8 I saw you mentioned you were having trouble in the other post. Would you be able to try the steps I mentioned in the above message? Do you only see this when you have a Slack and/or Trello account added?

weaversam8 · 2017-04-14T14:42:17Z

I'm not sure, the app still feels sluggish to me... designing this in Electron means that performance is going to be an uphill battle, but I'd love for this to be my software of choice.

Running the diagnostics before adding a slack account results in these results:

[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] start
[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] stats {
  "dataSize": 2614,
  "filesize": 2620,
  "keyLengths": {
    "59156c5d-47e5-4dbd-8452-b80741334143": 2380,
    "__index__": 40
  }
}
[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] Wavebox may become unresponsive whilst the following test runs...
[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] performance {
  "both": "First: 5ms. Avg: 5.1ms",
  "flush": "First: 21ms. Avg: 8ms",
  "serialize": "First: 0ms. Avg: 0.05ms"
}
[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] finish

But adding a Slack account results in this:

[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] start
[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] stats {
  "dataSize": 68416,
  "filesize": 68422,
  "keyLengths": {
    "017ec48f-a939-439c-9ef0-eeb74076207a": 57163,
    "59156c5d-47e5-4dbd-8452-b80741334143": 2380,
    "__index__": 79
  }
}
[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] Wavebox may become unresponsive whilst the following test runs...
mailboxes.js:61 [TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] performance {
  "both": "First: 8ms. Avg: 9.85ms",
  "flush": "First: 26ms. Avg: 12.4ms",
  "serialize": "First: 1ms. Avg: 0.65ms"
}
[TEST:MAILBOXES_DB] finish

I'm not sure what those numbers will tell you, but when I run Wavebox, the fan on my i7 Surface Book doesn't stop spinning.

Thomas101 · 2017-04-15T16:48:00Z

Thanks for that. I was worried that there was some kind of performance issue with the database, but those are kind of what I'm expecting so nothing going wrong there.

I did spot this in the slack app....

...which suggest they're hammering localStorage quite heavily. I'll try to put something similar into wavebox to see if disabling it helps.

If you go to the settings for the slack account and toggle Sleep tab when not in use and then don't use the slack tab, do you see any lag? This would be a great indication whether there's some performance problem in the slack codebase or in the Wavebox sync code for slack. Thanks!

weaversam8 · 2017-04-15T17:03:06Z

That seems to help some, but there's still a ways to go... I don't know what apps like Visual Studio Code use to keep their UI so snappy, but I'm sure it's a lot of work to get the performance where it needs to be.

Thomas101 · 2017-04-15T17:09:00Z

Thanks. That would suggest its something that's going on in the webview that Slack is hosted within. Interesting why it only seems to come up on Windows though. I'll do some profiling our end to see what happens. To help me reproduce it do you know how many channels are in you slack team? How busy is it? Do you have lots of users etc? Thanks again!

mapkiwi · 2017-04-20T04:44:18Z

Just thought I'd drop a note to say I haven't encountered the issue again, even after adding back the Trello and Slack services. I'm just glad performance is stable again! Thanks for looking into this.

…more performance problems. #9

daroczig · 2017-05-06T22:59:48Z

FTR I've seen similar problems (heavy CPU usage when running Wavebox even in the background) -- turned out due to animated gifs in a Slack channel. Once I changed to another room (without an animgif), the problem went away. Interestingly, if I changed to another app (eg gmail), but left Slack with the channel having the animgif, then the CPU usage remained high. So the resolution for me now (Linux/Wavebox 3.1.7) is to never leave the app in a Slack room with animated gifs -- I hope this finding will help others too.

Thomas101 · 2017-05-08T08:50:07Z

I wonder if there's anything I can do to pause/kill gifs when a tab is not active. Would probably save some cpu cycles.

Thomas101 · 2017-05-23T08:24:49Z

@daroczig I've added some fixes into 3.1.8 which disable gifs when the account isn't active.

Going to close this issue off for now as performance seems to be holding, but if there are any more issues just re-comment or open a new issue and I'll take another look. Thanks!

Wavebox should update automatically over the next few hours (or if you don't want to wait restart Wavebox and it will check immediately), or you can re-download from https://wavebox.io/download

Cybolic · 2018-11-28T19:59:36Z

I'm not sure whether this should be a separate issue report, but I seem to be getting the same thing on Arch Linux. The window will freeze and the tray icon occasionally also freezes but mostly stays "alive".
My guess is also that it's Slack.

@Cybolic which version of Wavebox & Arch Linux are you using?

Cybolic · 2018-11-29T23:47:26Z

Wavebox version 4.4.0, the latest packages of Arch as of today and I'm running i3 as my desktop environment.

Thomas101 · 2018-12-04T11:39:45Z

@Cybolic I wonder if this is down to some incompatibility between a version of a lib on your machine and that version of Wavebox. There's quite a bit of discussion around freezing in issue #823 and the beta channel of Wavebox seems to have resolved that for everyone involved. You could give that a try or if you're happy to wait we're aiming to make it stable next week sometime
