Bug#854372: Info received (kwin-x11: kwin starts flickering the screen contents)



Sorry cannot test Kwin 5.8.6 as of now since it would break many dependencies on my system (it has quite many 5.8.6 dependencies and KDE 5.8.6 is coming to testing as of now). Anyway I'll test it for sure once it lands into testing.

Hi,

Yes it might. kwin 5.8.2 + breeze 5.8.4 produce the issue as well, while kwin 5.8.4 + breeze 5.8.4 do not seem to cause the issue.

¡Hola Julien!

Actually the issue has greatly reduced w/ kwin 5.8.4 from what it was in 5.8.2.

Now if you disable the experimental "allow apps to disable compositing" feature, and set the "keep window thumbnails" to always in the compositor settings then the issue disappears. I think it should be the default.

Then I guess that the breeze integration is makes a difference for this
issue.

This is mostly context for me: 5.8.4 and 5.8.6 are compiled with the breeze integration, 5.8.5 not, because kwin was looking for breeze 5.8.5 and we were providing 5.8.4, for 5.8.6 Martin Gräßlin dropped the minor from the dependency.

Can you test if 5.8.6 (currently in sid) has the same behaviour of 5.8.4 for you?

Happy hacking,
