Package: libwayland-bin Version: 1.15.0-2 1) Movements of my mouse cursor is not smooth. The cursor often sticks for a half second and then jumps to the correct position.
The problem happens when I hold the mouse still for >5 seconds followed by a movement over any GUI element that reacts with any visual effect. When I constantly move the mouse, then the problem does not occur. Related "visual effects" are for example color change of text, emphasis of buttons, scrolling of window content, change of cursor shape. The USB mouse is affected as well as the touch pad of my laptop. Using another mouse, disconnecting the mouse or disabling the touch pad does not make any difference. I also tried to change my CPU speed governor from "powersave" to "performance" but that also did not help. All programs are affected. 2) In addition I noticed that video playback (e.g. on youtube.com) often starts with 1 second of jerking image and sound. 3) When I create screenshot by pressing the Print key, the screen sometimes freezes and shows about 50% of all pixels across the whole surface with random data (noise). Disabling Wayland in /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf solves all 3 problems. I wrote 3 issues in one ticket because I assume that they are related. If not then please lets concentrate on the first issue with the mouse cursor because that is more important to me. My laptop is a HP Omen with 8 cores, 8GB RAM, SSD and an Intel graphic chip plus an additional nvidia GPU. However I did not install the Nvidia driver because I am not interested in the 3D acceleration.
