Bug ID: 432299
Summary: Firefox flickering and window ghost
Product: kwin
Version: 5.20.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: chkb...@safe-mail.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Using Firefox with native Wayland (firefox-wayland, or Firefox with
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 set) regularly results in flickering, issues with windows
not taking up the required size, and ghosting when Firefox is terminated or
exits.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run "firefox-wayland" OR: MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox
2. Try various things such as resizing the window (maximising/minimising) or
switching tabs, browsing the web etc.
3. Exit Firefox
OBSERVED RESULT
STEPS 1-2: Eventually you will see the window flickering and becoming unusable
as artifacts appear all over the place.
STEP 3: There is a 50/50 chance that ghosted pieces of Firefox window will
remain.
EXPECTED RESULT
Smooth, predictable operation, as expected with any application. Has been a
continual problem even with 5.20.5 and earlier.
