Bug ID: 505834
Summary: VRR: Moving the mouse in game menus with wine-wayland
(mouse cursor visible) causes monitor hz to jump to
max and therefore causes flickering
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Hi,
when you use wine wayland (happens with wine+wayland or proton-ge + wayland)
and you move the mouse in game menus vrr breaks. The monitor hz jumps to the
max monitor hz (165hz here) and therefore causes flickering. This does not
happen when the mouse cursor is not visible (e.g. ingame in shooters etc..).
Iirc there was a similar issue in the past and was fixed.. The issue is not
only happening on kde 6.4 but was happening with later 6.3.x revisions also. So
it was reintroduced at same time
This is a kde/kwin issue, Gnome with enabled VRR is not affected.
If you use Xwayland the issue also does not show up.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set adaptive sync to automatic in kde display settings and Install Steam
2. Install proton-ge 10.4 so that i can be used in steam
3. Install Hell is Us demo
4. Choose proton-ge 10.4 as compatibility layer
5. User PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND %command% in the start options
OBSERVED RESULT
The monitor is flickering in the game menu when you move the mouse due to the
monitor hz jumping from current monitor hz (~100 in my case in the game menu)
to 165hz and back.
EXPECTED RESULT
VRR stays working also in game menus when you have a cursor visible and you
move the mouse.
