Deckmaster process randomly using large amount of processor power
Description At seemingly random times, the deckmaster process begins consuming roughly 20% of my Ryzen 7 3700X. I am currently unable to confirm if this is always the case, but for the most recent occurence, the log through systemd contians these two lines at the end:
XGB: xgb.go:455: A read error is unrecoverable: read unix @->/tmp/.X11-unix/X0: read: connection reset by peer
XGB: xgb.go:455: A read error is unrecoverable: EOF
Although this error seems to be the result of logging out and logging back in, this is the only clue I have. If needed for further info, I can run deckmaster through a normal shell instance to get more complete output. If there are verbosity options available, please inform.

Have now confirmed Deckmaster's high CPU usage starts when logging out and logging back in. Xorg read error potentially caused by a bug Opera is having on my system where every Opera window fights for focus as fast as possible. This may be causing some pilling up in Deckmaster's window-change queue
Having the exact same problem. It was using 200+% according to htop.
And I do not use Opera, so that's not the issue, at least not for me. Restarting the deck solves the problem. I'm going to run Deckmaster through the terminal for a bit and see if it eventually spits out anything interesting.
Unfortunately, it looks like Deckmater is abandoned, which is disappointing.
@mtwb47 I forgot to leave a mention here about this, but I did find the widget that was causing the issue. Same idea as yours, I ran Deckmaster through a terminal emulator and let it sit. If I remember right, I removed the window switcher widget (or whatever it's called that lets you focus to the previous window that was focused) and the issue went away. The program output gave a whole bunch of Xorg read errors, so that widget was my suspect and it seemed to be correct. But I haven't tested that out recently and have since switched to Wayland and not touched that widget.
@HoodedDeath Oh, thanks! That did it for me too. easy fixes are always the best.
