do you have minimized windows? (In reply to Martin Gräßlin from comment #1) > do you have minimized windows? No. then I'm not able to reproduce the issue. I only get repaints for minimized windows with auto hiding panels. Or could it be that something in the panel would be animating? E.g. a progress bar on the task bar, maybe even something which reacts on mouse motion? (In reply to Martin Gräßlin from comment #3) > then I'm not able to reproduce the issue.

It seems to be xeyes (not minimized but behind other windows) that triggers this. > It seems to be xeyes (not minimized but behind other windows) that triggers this.
Nice one ;-) That reminds me of the early days of KWin 4.x when I used xeyes to detect whether the compositor is frozen.
Anyway, I think we don't have a bug here, but rather expected behavior. Xeyes of course triggers repaints when the mouse is moved.
I still consider this a bug as it only happens with auto-hide enabled. I don't understand. xeyes triggers repaints, whether it is behind windows or not. That triggers a repaint in the compositor, which is also expected. So what should be wrong here?

I can't confirm the observations anymore, so probably not. |
