We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.
Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when
using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you
do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days
time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Spontaneous single window freezing
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Sometimes a window stopped refreshing its contents. Different applications
affected: known examples include xterm, Firefox, CodeBlocks, KDE lock screen.
No way found to revive in-time refreshing except full window closing (or
blind login, in case of KDE lock screen). Keyboard or mouse activity in a such
window doesn't help.
A one-shot refresh can be easily caused by switching to another virtual
desktop and then back. After such switching, a window refresh is active for
approximately 0.5 seconds, then stops again.
No relation to host uptime or X session uptime is visible.
Observed on two different hosts, both carrying Kubuntu 16.04 and
running XWindow+KDE as desktop environment. KDE is standard Kubuntu
one. Multiple virtual desktops are used on both hosts.
The issue started to appear approximately 4-5 months ago but I can't
specify exact package change that could have caused it. Both hosts are
regularly updated (no more than 1 week delay).
The first host has:
video: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Turks XT [Radeon HD 6670/7670] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Turks XT [Radeon HD 6670/7670]
Kernel driver in use: radeon
Kernel modules: radeon
CPU: AMD FX-8150
RAM: 16GB
Installed as Kubuntu 14.04, upgraded to 16.04 via do-release-upgrade.
current kernel: linux-image-4.4.0-112-generic
video packages: non-HWE series (e.g. xserver-xorg=1:7.7+13ubuntu3); active
driver: radeon
Issue rate on this host is rather tiny (~1 per week).
The second one has:
video: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 128b (rev
a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device 8c93
Kernel driver in use: nvidia
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_384_drm, nvidia_384
(really this is GeForce GT 740)
CPU:Intel i3-4170
RAM: 16GB
Installed originally as Kubuntu 16.04
current kernel: linux-image-4.13.0-32-generic (depended on by
linux-generic-hwe-16.04)
video packages: HWE series (e.g.
xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04=1:7.7+16ubuntu3~16.04.1); active driver: nvidia
(proprietary), but the same issue observed with VESA driver.
Issue rate on this host is 1-2 per day and was much higher with VESA
driver in use.
No respective messages are found in Xorg.*.log or ~/.xsession-errors,
but the latter has got stream of messages like:
at host with AMD and Radeon:
kscreen: Primary output changed from KScreen::Output(Id: 86 , Name: "HDMI-0"
) ( "HDMI-0" ) to KScreen::Output(Id: 86 , Name: "HDMI-0" ) ( "HDMI-0" )
kscreen: Primary output changed from KScreen::Output(Id: 86 , Name: "HDMI-0"
) ( "HDMI-0" ) to KScreen::Output(Id: 86 , Name: "HDMI-0" ) ( "HDMI-0" )
at host with Intel and Nvidia:
kscreen: Primary output changed from KScreen::Output(Id: 640 , Name:
"DVI-D-0" ) ( "DVI-D-0" ) to KScreen::Output(Id: 640 , Name: "DVI-D-0" ) (
"DVI-D-0" )
kscreen: Primary output changed from KScreen::Output(Id: 640 , Name:
"DVI-D-0" ) ( "DVI-D-0" ) to KScreen::Output(Id: 640 , Name: "DVI-D-0" ) (
"DVI-D-0" )
such messages started appearing approximately at the same time, plus-
minus 1-2 months.
