My solution to this issue:
The failing test is
`TestTabModifyAndExport.test_PushButton_ScrambleTexts`, which checks the
file-scrambling functionality of the GUI. The test fails because it asserts
the existence of the scrambled output file before it has been created,
resulting in an `AssertionError: Provided file does not exist`.The root
cause appears to be a timing issue. The file scrambling operation runs in a
background thread, and the test uses a fixed `time.sleep(0.1)` to wait for
completion. This brief delay is insufficient on slower or more heavily
loaded build systems, which is often the case for non-amd64
architectures.My proposed solution is to replace the unreliable
fixed-duration sleep with a more robust polling mechanism. The patch I've
prepared modifies the test to repeatedly check for the existence of the
output file with a 5-second timeout. This makes the test resilient to
performance variations across different build environments without
unnecessarily slowing down the test suite on faster systems.I have attached
a debdiff containing the patch that resolves this issue. After applying the
patch, the package builds successfully.Please consider applying this patch.
Thank you for your work on this package.
