I use SDDM and Sway, and since a couple weeks I experience a
bug where
several programs start flickering after I resume from suspend,
to a
point that they are unusable. This happens at least on Emacs
and
Firefox (I admit I haven't tested on IceCat), happens in both
Sway and
Gnome on Wayland, and does not happen in Gnome on X11. Which
makes me
think it is related to XWayland.
I'm using sway, and I do not have this issue. I use Firefox and
Emacs.
I've been running sway for days at a time. At night I close the
laptop
lip, and I keep computing for the next day.
On Emacs, some select letters (often 'o') are not rendered.
Parts of
the windows are not refreshed when other parts are updated.
Logging
out (to SDDM) and back in fixes the issue.
I do not have this issue.
Thanks for the report. It turns out this happens also on Gnome on
X11, and on Waybar sometimes, so it's not an XWayland issue. Here
are two videos of some of the behaviour (this is after a full
update of system and profile):

I thought it was a hardware issue for a moment, but logging out

much appreciated!
Best,
