Description Linus Kardell 2016-05-20 22:23:40 UTC 
Windows sometimes do not seem to be redrawn properly when EGL composititing is used. For example in Firefox if you highlight some text and then click somewhere it unhighlights the text. However the the text still looks highlighted. If you scroll afterwords it seems to force it to redraw. It happens elsewhere as well. It's most noticeable when editing text as your edits do not appear on the screen immediately. It does not seem to happen with GLX compositing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable EGL compsiting
2. Highlight text in Firefox
3. Click somewhere on the page
4. Scroll

Actual Results:  
The highlight does not seem to disappear until you scroll.

Expected Results:  
The highlight should immediately disappear when you click.

Bug in EGL/DRI2
Try DRI3 or simply use GLX, EGL is not GLES and and doesn't provide (you) systematic advantages.
