Hello, You can see the video of the problem can you check ? https://photos.app.goo.gl/C86tEcLy7wsa13jN8 (In reply to ad1rie3 from comment #1) > Hello, > > You can see the video of the problem > > > > can you check ? > > https://photos.app.goo.gl/C86tEcLy7wsa13jN8 Another exemple with skype app : https://photos.app.goo.gl/LH7ZCyLMoHqgpDsh9 I'm getting the same problem on Opensuse Tumbleweed. At the moment, the affected apps are Falkon Browser (unusable), Kmail and System settings.... Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211121 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.15.2-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 Hi, I can confirm the flickering on Fedora 35. The graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce 9400 in an iMac early 2009. I can observe the flickering, when I use the nouveau driver and X11. It works with the nouveau driver on wayland (no flicker) but wayland is still not ready to use on Plasma. Interesting is that the main window of KMail flickers but the "child" window (click on new e-mail) does not. By the way "kinfocenter" flickers as well when I click on "devices" -> "device viewer" -> "processors" and expand or collapse the tree. Everything works properly when I compile and use the Nvidia driver by Nvidia on X11. So I am not sure if "wayland-generic" is the right component. We've got similar bug reports about having glitches in window decorations when using an nvidia video card. @Domenico can you describe visual artifacts or maybe attach a photo showing them?

You can see them https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5731#note_1184944 *** Bug 448665 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I don't use my NVidia card while this bug happens. I've an Intel GPU and I'm not using prime-run to trigger the discrete NVidia's GPU (unless KDE is doing that without telling me). Can you confirm if this still an issue with the GBM Nvidia path? I'm not using NVidia drivers so clearly it's not NVidia related (of if it is, it also fail on Intel GPU) Can't reproduce on my laptop with an intel gpu. kmail is rendered as expected and its content is not leaked to other windows. Same with falkon. It might be a video driver issue. i Confirm the bug is gone with GBM path for nvidia hardware ;) Thanks for the update. |
