Teamviewer GUI slow on Debian

I am running TV 12 on my Debian GNU/Linux machine.  The problem is, after I start teamviewer, the GUI is terribly slow, it takes several seconds when I switch to TeamViewer window to redraw, or when I click on menu, it takes several seconds to show.

After like a minute or so, it starts working normally.  Note this is prior to connecting anywhere, just the GUI is running.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks.

m.

    Dear mehturt,

    Thank you for contacting TeamViewer.

    Let's have a look to your system while you're running TeamViewer.

    Please run these commands to diagnose your issue

    cat /proc/cpuinfo | tee info.log
    uptime | tee -a info.log
    ps auxf | grep -i teamviewer | awk '{print $11 "\t" $4}' | tee -a info.log
    free -h | tee -a info.log

    Then send us the output so we can check what's happening.

    We are looking forward to your comments.

    Best regards,

    Christian

    Hello Christian,

    I downloaded the most recent version but it looks the same.

    In order to demonstrate the problem, I recorded my desktop where I start teamviewer, move the windows around and click menus.

    Dear mehturt,

    Thank you for your video post.

    What Debian version are you using?

    I will like to check if I'm able to reproduce your issue with a default Debian installation with Window Maker.

    Any information that might help us simulate your environment will be great.

    We are looking forward to your comments.

     

    Best regards,

    Christian
