chromium is slow on 'edit'-pages in wikis

Reported by chris.re...@gmail.com, Jul 17 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.106 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. register or login to a mediawiki 
2. try to edit the page
3. try to write or remove something

What is the expected behavior?
I should get a fast feedback. If I type something it should be shown instantly. If I delete something it should be removed instantly.

What went wrong?
Editing a wikipage is slowly with chromium. My CPU and RAM usage are both normal.(under 20% usage). I don't have this problem with firefox.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes Not sure some versions before. I haven't used chromium for a while.

Does this work in other browsers? Yes 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.106  Channel: dev
OS Version: Arch Linux
Flash Version: No flash installed
 
Oh yes of course, sorry I forgot it. Here is the trace for it.

chris.rebischke@ many thanks for the trace. You aren't kidding. The layouts in the FrameView are taking ~1100ms causing the input latency to be really really high. Setting Blink>Layout hopefully the layout team can have a look at it but they may require a more detailed trace.

Was this an Input Latency trace? Or a Web Developer Trace? 
Not sure, I did the following:

about::tracing

then I clicked on start and then i opt-in everything and i clicked on start.

Thats all what i did. Sorry I am not very familiar with chromium debugging.
But if shall do more checks, just reply and i will try to send you more.

The trace doesn't have nearly enough information to be useful. There are a bunch of 2+ second event handlers and 1 second layouts.

Could you try the latest canary and see if the problem persists?

I have tried the newest stable version.. 52.0.2743.82 (Developer Build) (64-bit)
This version seems to have the same bug.

Would you mind taking a look at this when you get a chance Koji?

Tried to create an account to repro without luck.

What is this question? I don't have that command on my Linux.

Hello Koji,
I don't understand your 'Comment 11'. Which question do you mean and which command on linux?

I was talking about 'edit' pages in mediawikis like for example: wiki.archlinux.org

Btw:

Since my last update on version: 52.0.2743.82 (Developer Build) (64-bit)
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium --window-depth=24 --x11-visual-id=32 --wm-user-time-ms=144243 --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end

I have the same slowlyness sometimes on other pages. It's not the network connection, it's the UI that is suddenly slowly. my CPU and RAM are ok. I will try to do a trace next time when it happens.

I was trying to follow the steps:

So I go to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE and click "create account". The page has a question:

> What is the output of "pacman -V|base32|head -1"

It looks like I can't create an account without answering this question, but I don't know what this is.


Hello Koji,
You can use this base64 hash:

BIQC4LJNFYQCAIBAEAQCAIBAEAQCAIBAEAQCAICQMFRW2YLOEB3DKLRQFYYSALJANRUWEYLMOBWS

it's the output of `pacman -V|base32|head -1`. pacman is arch linux package manager.


Thank you Chris. I created an account and tried to edit a couple of pages using stable 52.0.2743.116 and Canary 54.0.2823.0, but I do not see slowness.

Can you still reproduce? If so, can you point me a URL of which page you see?

As far as I can see, the editor uses textarea, which enables "word-wrap: break-word". It was slow in M51 and IIUC a few early releases of M52, but was fixed in  issue 603398  and  issue 591793 .

Closing as no further feedback on this, assumes this is  issue 603398 .

Please leave comment if any.
Hello,
Sorry I was for 4 Weeks in China without internet access.
Seems like I was wrong.. it was not the fault of the website.
I can reproduce it now on my system.
I am using DWM, a window tiling manager on linux.
Everytime when I have 2 instances of chromium (1 instance on my left screen and 1 on my right screen) and I change on one of these screens my virtual desktop the open chromium instance on the other screen will act very slowly.

Any Idea how i can debug this? Is this a bug in chromium or is this more a X-Server thingie?
