Description Fabian Vogt 2017-08-08 16:50:12 UTC

0. Enable window highlighting on hover
1. Open the system tray or the main menu
2. Hover over a window entry in the taskmanager

-> Z-fighting between the dialog and the highlighted window

Z-fighting in this situation means? Constant switching?

Flickering between the layers, yes. It's basically like opacity: rand(0, 1) on every redraw.

KWin doesn't use depth buffer so that's not possible to have Z-fighting.
What do you mean by Z-fighting?

From what I can remember, it looked 100% like z fighting here.

I can't hightlight windows on wayland, so I can't reproduce the issue here unfortunately.

KWin doesn't use depth buffer. Thus, that's not possible to have Z-fighting.

If you're still able to reproduce this bug, please reopen it.
