Hi,
I've noticed a bug I think is in urxvt (but I could be wrong): some
characters (all Asian from what I've noticed so far) randomly flicker
when displayed in this terminal, but not when displayed in konsole for
instance.
To reproduce, simply open a new urxvt{,c} instance and paste this
character that I know triggers the bug: 统 (U+7EDF)
(simply writing & reading back this mail in vim & mutt was also enough).
I feel like the more characters there are, the more often this
flickering happens (or maybe there's just more surface flickering for me
to notice), so here's a full sentence for example:
> usb_used：USB使能志。置1，表示系统中USB模块可用,置0,则表示系统USB禁用。
I also just noticed while writing this mail that the flickering seems to
be more frequent when I move the cursor, so it might be tied to the
surface swap.
The flickering seems to stop when the window goes out of focus (but is
still fully visible), so the window manager/compositor might be
involved: I'm using i3.
Details that could be relevant:
- .Xdefaults contains `URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-9`
The bug doesn't seems to happen when I remove this line?
It does happen for any other xfreetype font I tried though.
- I'm running Arch with these packages:
- community/i3-wm 4.12-1
- extra/mesa 12.0.3-3
- extra/xorg-server 1.18.4-1
- rebooting doesn't change anything (yeah, I already tried that :P)
I'm a linux driver dev myself, so I'm happy to test anything or do some
debugging if someone points me in the right direction :)
Cheers,
Eric
