URxvt (rxvt-unicode) Lags

Running Manjaro i3 community edition.
URxvt is currently lagging in a small way. I don’t notice any particular keystoke that causes it but it will freeze momentarily then will catch up after a few moments or after more input is entered. This didn’t start happening until a recent update and doesn’t seem to hurt anything but it throws me off when it freezes and annoys me.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any quick fixes?

Edit: I’ve tried other terminal-emulators and they work just fine.

remove this :point_down:

This does not seem to help. And how would that affect the confiuration if it is commented out?

Also something I forgot to add in the initial post: the cursor jumps around sometimes- even in vim.

Edit: tried xterm and it is happening there as well.

Thanks for helping out!

similar issue :point_down:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121343

unfortunately that is definitely not the issue.

So I’ve actually reinstalled (fresh install) Manjaro i3 since. Upon re-installation I updated and found that urxvt was doing the exact same thing- I hadn’t touched the .Xresources at all either. Even the first time I took out the line of code thought to be the culprit, it continued doing the same thing. I personally believe it is an issue with the current version of xterm- mind you I don’t know much about how these terminals are structured. I’ve switched to Alacritty for the time being.

it’s a aur package as far i can tell. fully update your system, if you have not already and rebuild that software against python 3.10.

from the stable update announcement of 1/2/2022 :point_down:

You may need to rebuild any AUR packages that install files to site-packages …
yay -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) --answerclean All

sorry about the delay in responding- I’ve tried deleting the lines in .Xresources and have no python packages to update/rebuild.

It is still doing it- however I have recently found that input into other programs are doing the same- I just didn’t notice because I’m not usually in “interfaced” programs that much. I’m starting to think it has something to do with the graphics driver…

edit: Blenders interface has gone south as well and I did not connect the 2… will try down grading the driver…

It was the kernal. I uninstalled the kernal my computer was running and found that it was an RT (real time kernal). Don’t know why this happened but it was in fact an supported one that I had not chosen to run.

Problem solved!
