Dancing Footers
Help, I've upgraded to the latest OpenLP running on latest Ubuntu 12.04. Installed on a Samsung laptop.
My footers have started dancing.
Every time we move to a new slide the footer dances down and then back up to the correct position. The entire image behind scales with it. This gives a very distracting flickering for every slide change.
I edited a couple of themes. It doesn't make any difference. Happens all the time with all themes.
I looked to see if scaling was a new feature I could turn off. Nope. No control over image scaling. Isn't supposed to happen.
The text over the image doesn't move. Only the image and the footer, which seems to remain locked to a location on the image. So it could be worse.
I have no idea where to look for an answer now. What settings should I adjust?
Is this a new bug?

Hi Simon
I don't have any immediate answers to your problem, but as a stop-gap emergency workaround, you could remove the image from your theme, and move the footer off-screen.
To help us investigate further, it would be great if you could:
You have of course tried the obvious things? Like restart computer, tried creating a completely new theme?
Thanks, Sam
Thank you. Brand new themes behave exactly the same.
I have sent you an email with video and log.
THe symptoms sounds like a projector resync. That's what happens when we have to shift from one input back to VGA on ours.
Simon,
Your email doesn't seem to have come through. Can you verify you have sent it to the correct address?
You could also try via http://openlp.org/contact-us/support (put your debug log in a pastebin link).

Ok,
I've tried again. It was the correct email address. Did it get stuck in your filters?
I also pasted the log in the web form like you suggested.
Thanks
I have found that a work around to stop the footers dancing is to go into settings and tick 'bypass x-windows manager'.
Hope that helps anyone else on Ubuntu who bumps into this issue.
