Weird behaviour after blocking compositing.
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Window decorations are getting random flickering visual glitches after closing an app that was blocking compositing.
As far as I checked, there's nothing interesting in journald logs. Only entries related to compositioning are "Painter not active" and "Passing incompatible arguments to C++ functions from JavaScript is dangerous and deprecated" stuff.
I'm using Manjaro, intel graphics and breezeway-mod from AUR. Auto color match is
set to "Color scheme". That's how it looks (here it mirrored part of bottom of the screen):
How could I reproduce this? I tried forcing a "compositing: block" behaviour on a random window, moving it on top of another and then closing it but I wasn't able to see these glitches.
Manjaro, Intel HD 620, X here. Same issue: after a the compositor was disabled and enabled again wild flickering starts. But it only happens on the OpenGL 3.1 engine, OpenGL 2.0 and XRender is OK. This is the first time I see any glitches with the OpenGL 3.1 compositor engine.
Apparently after messing around today I can't force it to happen again. Changing the rendering backend or the color matching method also don't work (or rather, work, besides the beta window color matching which is totally broken on my setup).
So, idk, maybe for me it was caused by some weird circumstances?
I'm really trying my best to get this glitch to appear on my screen but to no avail. Sorry. I'm closing the issue for now but feel free to comment if you found a way to recreate a scenario where we can force the glitch to appear.
