Sorry, I might have been unclear. I've put four patches on this bug:
Attachment #273425 ("#if 0" the fast-path to make it work like the X11 backend)
works, but I worried that it would hurt performance by adding a copy into the
most common case. On the other hand, it sounds as though in practice there's
always a copy on Mutter-Wayland anyway. I think this is the only one so far
that both works, and is theoretically correct.
Attachment #273427 doesn't actually seem to prevent the symptom for me, and I
haven't been able to work out why not.
The pseudo-patch in the text of Comment #8 is a more refined version of
Attachment #273427 in response to Daniel's comments, but also doesn't seem to
work. Again, I haven't been able to work out why it doesn't do what I think it
should.
Attachment #273458 prevented the symptom when I tried it, but you pointed out
that it was wrong for the cases where we only redraw parts of the window, and I
agree.
