Hi all,
I want to put out a development goal for the Plasma team for the
upcoming 5.12 cycle: let's get Wayland ready!
The last two weeks I saw two blog posts by two different Plasma
members
showing screenshots running X. That disappointed me. I hoped that we
all
are running Wayland already and working on getting it finished for our
users.
So I want to ask every one of you to start doing all development on
Wayland. Use it as your daily driver. Use it for hacking, gaming,
browsing and whatever else you do on your system. But use it!
Don't find an excuse for yourself, just use it. If there is a show
stopper: fix it or report a bug!
yep, i like it and i'll try!
some times tough some help is needed to even figure out where the
problem is...
for tme the thing that makes my laptop unusable with wayland is a very
bad
flicker in many qwidget apps, especially kate and to a lesse extent
dolphin are
pretty much blinking like disco lights just by moving the mouse on top
of the
app window.
Where should i start to look about that?
Most likely in Qt. I had seen this once in kate as well and it looked to
me like either Qt is not updating correctly (single buffering?) or what
I consider more likely this is a tooltip issue. At least in dolphin I
see that tooltips open and are not properly marked as a transient. If it
is now under the mouse we get flicker, because it opens, gains focus and
dolphin then destroys it again and the complete process repeats. I hope
that the Qt 5.9.2 fixes that.
Otherwise I suggest to run these apps on xcb platform. As mentioned in
the thread about QT_QPA_PLATFORM env var I have the feeling that xcb
platform just works better for many apps.
Cheers
Martin
