--- Comment #4 from Duncan <1i5t5.dun...@cox.net> ---
It's definitely a bug, tho I believe it's hardware/drivers dependent.

I /had/ omitted to try with scaling (as you might have guessed seeing as I
didn't mention it) as (to my embarrassment) I somehow missed that in your
description.  My bad!

But I just tried it now, and at least here, scaling works on wayland. =:^) (Set
in kde systemsettings, display and monitor, display configuration. I believe
kscreen must be installed, however.  That kcm's missing if it's not.)

And I still didn't get artifacts but performance trying to move the image
around was *dramatically* worse/slower, to the point that if that was my
otherwise-normal setting I'd definitely be looking for faster alternatives as
I'd have trouble working that way.

System scaling with gwenview zooming and image-panning is definitely
struggling.  I wonder if amdgpu is set to continue rendering well in that case,
or possibly it's kwin-wayland's or mesa's efforts to keep the "every frame
perfect, skip frames if necessary" promise that's wayland's normal defined
policy, while either X or your hardware makes the other choice and goes for
speed over perfect rendering, with those artifacts you're getting the result?

I'm going to have to restart kde/plasma in X mode and test scaling there.  If
the results match yours there and it's faster with artifacts on my
amdgpu/radeon too we're looking at a rather different bug than if the results
match my wayland results and it's slower but still correct on X for me.
