Description JonnyRobbie 2016-03-30 14:20:38 UTC
Basically what the summary says. Starting Title crashes compositing. On one screenshot you can see konsole with its shadow, transparency and rounded window decorations. On the other (with mpv window), all those things crashed. I don't think that the whole kwin crashed because the window managing still works. But the compositing goes down.

I haven't managed to find any more applications that does that. Only mpv so far. It wasn't an issue on 5.5.

I can go to System Settings -> Compositor and change some setting there and back again to start the compositing back up.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't show anything.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start mpv
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
kwin compositing crashed

Expected Results:  
kwin compositing doesn't crash

Not a bug at all.

Adding this to mpv.conf prevented this behavior in my case:
x11-bypass-compositor=no

Thanks. It seems to fix the problem for me too.
