SUMMARY KWin, video driver, or whatever is responsible for this… I don't know. But the thing is, Firefox window may become transparent under certain conditions (or just because it feels like it); Sublime Merge window content becomes black under other certain conditions; icons, textures, and whole window surfaces may contain garbage pixels after sleep, and so on… I took a video depicting the process: https://youtu.be/hFeFBrDVUy0 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch Firefox 2. Hover over its icon in the task manager 3. Hover over the window preview on a tooltip of its icon OBSERVED RESULT Firefox's window may become transparent. Its server-side decorations are in place. Hovering over, or interacting with the window (where it's supposed to be) brings its graphics back to normal. But otherwise it is fully transparent; you can see things going on behind it. EXPECTED RESULT Obviously, this should not happen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.15.11-arch2-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M/PCIe/SSE2 Firefox: 95.0.2-1 Everything KDE related is from git master
Created attachment 151476 [details] KMail too Seems like it's not exclusive to Firefox. KMail also can become transparent. Which leads me to think that it's a KWin's fault after all.
Are you still seeing this on Plasma 6.3.3 or greater? I can't currently reproduce this, it's probably been fixed. Thanks.
