Digitale Infrastruktur » pi-vote

Just installed the new version. During installation of the deb-packet there was a mono-Process using a lot of CPU-Power for a couple of minutes, newer had this before. When I started circle my screen starts flickering like crazy. The desktop is not usable anymore and I had to switch to the console ([Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1]) to kill the task.

On the second try I launched the old PiVote client, but this also started circle and the flickering. After experimenting a bit I figured out that it apperently tries to resize automatically between full screen and over all four virtual desktops (the flickering is visible when you try to switch to a different desktop). After manually adjusting the window to full screen ([Alt]+[Space],[X]) the flickering stops and after switching the desktop a couple of times the window is visible.

I then tried to create parts but then a new window launched and filled my desktop with flickering. Since we should urgently start this voting I stopped further experiments, killed the task and will now revert to 1.4.0.0 which had some resizing issues to but was usable.
