Description João Bóia 2014-07-20 16:30:58 UTC
Any video playback will freeze if you move the mouse cursor inside the window thumbnail preview box, video will resume if you stop moving your mouse cursor or if the cursor leaves the preview box.

It doesn't matter which thumbnail or which application is playing the video.

Tested with XBMC, VLC, Flash videos on Firefox and Steam.

Reproducible: always.

what kind of thumbnails are you talking about?
Comment 2 João Bóia 2014-07-20 16:44:06 UTC
Thumbnails preview from the task manager.

Comment 3 Thomas Lübking 2014-07-20 17:28:26 UTC
- does other animated content run ("glxgears" etc.)
- does it happen with suspended compositing? (Shift+Alt+F12)
- does it happen with xrender compositing?

glxgears and opengl games also freezes
Same Issue with Xrender
Works fine with composition suspended
Comment 5 Martin Flöser 2014-07-20 17:41:11 UTC
Could you please provide the output of:

qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation

when the problem occurs.

Reassigning to plasma-frameworks as that's where the Thumbnail component lives. Note: I tested the development of the component with video playback.
Comment 6 João Bóia 2014-07-20 17:49:14 UTC
output of qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation:

It appears to be the same whether the video is freezed or not.
Comment 7 Thomas Lübking 2014-07-20 18:02:01 UTC
can you activate the "show paint" effect and see whether the video region keeps flickering (despite the window being frozen)?

The entire screen stops repainting, all is frozen in place.

Same thing with EXA.

I don't have the issue any more. I also don't know by what version it was fixed. If you're curious, here's a video of what the issue was:

If no one else is experiencing the issue, it should closed.

Keep up the good work.
