Constant CPU usage drains battery

[oktayacikalin]

I've seen that Planify can go to idle mode, but only when I'm in a project/list view.
When I'm on the pinboard, it's about 30% cpu.

When I try to open the today view, it seems to go into some infinite loop and grows into the GB range for now reason. But I've also seen that the today view of NextCloud bails out too. There's certainly something bad after all that testing. How can we debug this? It would be great if Planify could detect such loops and help me fix it.

I haven't tested the app with many tasks, I'm still looking for a solution for this.

Are there event listeners or something which only fire when the app is visible? As of now, when I hide the app, CPU goes down to 0%. But when I pull it up, focused or not, it consumes a lot of CPU, as if something is constantly doing/drawing or scanning something. Keyboard event polling or something?

It also increases with the amount of tasks in view. For example, my personal list is long, the test lists are short. This can be seen in the amount of cpu usage.

I've also the impression, that the longer the app runs or the often I pull it up again (from hidden state), something adds up and the CPU usage increases.

All blackbox testing so far.. perhaps I should start reading code again 😅

If you like, I can try to take a look at it. But you should help me setting up a proper dev environment. I have some experience with GTK3 und Python2/3, but not with libadwaita - and I haven't written code for some time now.
