Bug ID: 472407
Summary: Walyand: Screencasting causes KWin to take up 100% of
a single CPU core
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.6
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: xna...@hydra-development.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The commit
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/23806d31e23d2ef2bc8344114feb6d27364cdc01
has introduced a regression that can be observed on my system that manifests
itself as KWin taking up 100% of a single CPU core (and dropping frames) when
screencasting.
Reverting the mentioned commit has completely resolved the issue for me.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Log in to Plasma Wayland session
1. Begin screencasting (I used rectangular region which is scheduled for 6.0,
but fullscreen produced the same issue for me - I used OBS to test this)
OBSERVED RESULT
KWin takes up 100% of a singe CPU core (thread), mouse movement is choppy, and
journalctl --user shows KWin is struggling with frame drops.
EXPECTED RESULT
Screencasting is smooth, does not impact desktop usage, and does not take 100%
of a single CPU core.
