In XFCE4, I observe a lot of screen tearing in displays on external monitors. One thing I tried was to turn off the compositor.
When I do that, geeqie has a weird behavior I've noticed now and then over the years. In geeqie, float the file list and in preferences choose "fit window to image". Set size to 1:1. If you open a very large image that goes off the bottom of the screen, then when you drag the window up, the bottom of the picture never displays, You see black lines and some distortion of very thin likes showing. You do not have same trouble if the file list is not floating or if viewing is full screen. In either of those cases, then the pull up does reveal bottom of image. If I turn the compositor back on, then the bottom of the image does display when scrolling. I don't understand why the compositor would fix that, but it does. Can somebody explain if this is important/bothersome? I wonder if it means there's something wrong in the window manager. Or else the system is working the way it should.
