Description Christian 2015-08-14 16:40:10 UTC 
Window content freeze/doesn't update.

This happens at seemingly random intervals, and is therefor hard to reproduce. The only common denominator I can think of, is that I have a lot of windows open.

Description of behavior:
* Content's of a window suddenly freezes / stops updating on screen.
* The program inside the window continues to function as the problem is present. I can write, click and scroll, but I won't see what I'm doing before it renders again.
* Only updates if:
- I move the mouse out of the window and out again (focus follows mouse). This does not solve the problem, it just refreshes the window content once on mouse out, and once on mouse in.
- Re-size the window. This fixes the problem for a while.
* The problem seems to go away for a while if I close down some programs.
* It can take days before the problem occurs, but once it has occurred once, it usually keeps happening over and over. 
* The window doesn't go black or blank, it just keep displaying what it was displaying the moment it froze.
* Often happens to multiple applications once it starts happening, but not all.
* A real productivity killer ;)

I have two machines showing the same behavior, home and work.
Both machines are running Kubuntu.
* Kubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on this computer
* Kubuntu 14.04.x LTS on my home computer (Don't have access to it right now)

Nvidia graphics cards on both machines. GeForce GTX 760 on this one. A similar one at home.
4GB memory on the gfx card, 32GB in the machine. Can it really be as simple as me filling up the gpu memory?

Both machines have two displays.

The only real solution is to restart the X server. Closing down a lot of windows can work as a temporary solution.

I have googled a lot about this issue, but can't seem to find any info. I can't be the only one experiencing this, and on two separate systems.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Don't know what else is relevant. Please advice.

Almost forgot:
I tried Kubuntu 15.04 on the same machine, but this had even worse bugs. The content of windows and the whole desktop would turn into garbage. As if it suddenly started rendering random textures onto the windows. Don't know if this is a common bug, if not the root cause may be related to this bug.

Also, restarting the application experiencing this bug causes it to go away, but it always returns after a while. It fixes the problem for a longer period of time than just re-sizing the window.

Change Vsync from "Automatic" -> "Never"


I have seen and experienced this on some machines. It drives you crazy, because it can work fine for long periods and then other times it occurs repeatily.

I eventually solved this by disabling "Tearing Prevention", setting it to "Never". The default setting is generally "Automatic".

In "System Settings" -> "Display and Monitor" -> "Compositor".
Tearing Prevention ("vsync") is the option.

* Nvidia graphics card was present in laptop that suffered from it the most.
  Exactly how you describe and your right about there not being any information         
  or discussions on the issue. The biggest problem is trying to describe the
  issue to report and search. You did a top effort on your description.    
  Detailing the error requires effort, searching for it is a real challenge.
  This was about 12 months ago. I am using Korora, which is Fedora.

* I suspect that any other weird graphical glitches in the Windows or around    
  KDE, that this option will probably be related to it.
  
  I have had some not very common glitches very recently, but I have just turned    
  that option off, on this machine now and I am confident that it will not occur  
  anymore.

Bug was reported against KDE4 and pertains to xinerama, neither of which are officially supported anymore.
