SUMMARY As per title. This seems to affect System settings only, as I have yet to encounter this behavior in other KDE apps. Video attached. I am using openSuse Tumbleweed with Wayland and pipewire (I thought pipewire was sth for audio only, but once I saw it showing up in OBS Studio for video capture, I'm no longer sure, hence I'm mentioning it). I am using a custom font (Poppins) instead of the default, and scaling at 200%. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open System Settings (Wayland session) 2. Go to any appearance category and quickly move the mouse cursor back and forth over the available options (e.g. in the Colors section move over the previous quickly and for a few seconds. Also happens often when hovering over Global Theme previews). Also in Fonts it's visible. OBSERVED RESULT no UI flickering EXPECTED RESULT UI flickering - check video attached. See how all the UI widgets in the Fonts panel are "refreshed" causing flickering (including the "Fonts" title in the header section). Same goes for Colors (2nd part of the video) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sorry, I dunno how to edit. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Could not reproduce on X11. Could not reproduce on Kubuntu 21.10 live media (logged out of the default X11 session and logged in to a Wayland one - works fine) --> Kubuntu doesn't seem to apply scaling on neither X11 or Wayland sessions - wonder if scaling somehow plays a role in this issue Could reproduce on fedora 35 KDE live media (logs into Wayland by default). --> fedora auto scales to 200% I think when starting the live media Could reproduce on my openSuse Tumbleweed install by booting read-only snapshot of 18Jan (although I think that it's still on KDE 5.23.5) I wonder if this is somehow related to a recent version of Qt? On the other hand, I haven't encountered this issue on any other KDE apps, so far.

It's a recent Mesa regression: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5731
