Title:
Heavy stuttering in Firefox with mutter 45.1/45.2
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in mutter source package in Mantic:
In Progress
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
There is heavy stuttering visible in Firefox with mutter 45.1/45.2
when kinetic scrolling a non-animated web page with a touchpad. This
is a regression introduced upstream in mutter 45.1 (8f27ebf8).
[ Test Plan ]
0. Find a laptop with a touchpad.
1. Open a simple web page like a Wikipedia page in Firefox.
2. Use two fingers on the touchpad to fling it so it continues scrolling.
Expect: The scrolling proceeds and slows perfectly smoothly.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Anywhere in frame scheduling (visual smoothness), since that is the
code affected.
[ Other Info ]
The bug was introduced upstream in 45.1 by
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/commit/8f27ebf87eee6057992a90560d4118ab7bdf138d
but since it only hurts the triple buffering patch, that's where it
has been fixed:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Ubuntu/mutter/-/commit/0b896518b2028d9c4d6ea44806d093fd33793689
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Ubuntu/mutter/-/commits/triple-buffering-v4-45
[ Workaround ]
In /etc/environment:
MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always
or "never" also works. Just not "auto" because the bug is in auto mode
(the default).
