Bug ID: 365918
Summary: Severe flickering when interacting with some windows
Product: kwin
Version: 5.7.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: scene-opengl
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: emailofch...@gmail.com
When I use GLX as my backend, everything works fine (though I do experience
tearing sometimes, though that's a separate issue that's partly thanks to
Nvidia). And as of a recent update that included xorg-server and some others,
using OpenGL as the backend causes severe flickering on the desktop or entire
screen.
Since this can't be captured with a screenshot, I'm going to capture a video of
it. This will take a bit more time, so I'll be linking that in a while.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to one of the two OpenGL backends.
2. Open one or a few new Dolphin windows, for example.
3. Move the cursor around on top of it.
Actual Results:
Flickering in areas of the screen.
Expected Results:
Nothing out of the ordinary should happen.
Using Nvidia might or might not be a factor.
