Describe the bug

I am experiencing performance issues with the Warp terminal when running it on a remote server with the latest version of Kali Linux using the GNOME environment. The Warp terminal appears to be slow and laggy compared to a normal terminal in this setup.

To reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:

Set up a remote server running the latest version of Kali Linux with the GNOME desktop environment installed.
Install and open the Warp terminal on the remote server.
Execute various commands within the Warp terminal and observe the response time and overall performance.
Compare the performance with the standard GNOME terminal by executing similar commands.

Expected behavior

Expected Result: The Warp terminal should function with comparable efficiency and responsiveness as the standard GNOME terminal.

Actual Result: The Warp terminal exhibits slower response times and a general lack of smoothness in operation, significantly impacting usability.

Frequency: This issue occurs consistently every time the Warp terminal is used in the described environment.

Additional context

i had the version 0.2024.04.02.08.02.stable.01 on older similar setup and it was working fine.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Hi @coder3119, thanks for reporting this case. Can you elaborate how you're connected to this remote server, e.g. is it VNC, RDP, X11 forwarding over SSH?

[acarl005]

Looking at #4864, it seems that this may not be limited to remote Linux sessions.

@coder3119 Thank you for flagging. A few questions for you:

1. Did this specifically stop working with the v0.2024.04.23.08.01.stable_03 release? Could you test on the following versions to see if it still reproduces?

• v0.2024.04.16.08.02.stable_00: https://releases.warp.dev/stable/v0.2024.04.16.08.02.stable_00/warp-terminal_0.2024.04.16.08.02.stable.00_amd64.deb
• v0.2024.04.09.08.01.stable_01: https://releases.warp.dev/stable/v0.2024.04.09.08.01.stable_01/warp-terminal_0.2024.04.09.08.01.stable.01_amd64.deb
• v0.2024.04.02.08.02.stable_01: https://releases.warp.dev/stable/v0.2024.04.02.08.02.stable_01/warp-terminal_0.2024.04.02.08.02.stable.01_amd64.deb

2. Does this still reproduce if you disable "Completions while typing"?

I'm using VMware Remote Console (VMRC) but the same behavior when i use RDP.
when i switched to using Xfce, I noticed a slightly improvement

@coder3119 We believe we just pushed a fix for this in the latest version of Warp (v0.2024.04.30.08.02.stable_02). Would you mind updating and confirming it fixes things for you?

[vorporeal]

We've gotten feedback from a number of users that the input lag was, in fact, fixed in v0.2024.04.30.08.02.stable_02, so I'm going to close this out as fixed.

If you're still seeing the input lag regression on that version, please re-open.

For anyone with an input delay or performance issue who finds this issue in the future, please open a new issue.
