Current Behavior

Sometimes(more than once each session) i3 glitches out. I think 'glitching' is the right word. I have to restart i3 each time to solve this. Below gif explains the situation better. https://i.imgur.com/0d5txJy.gif

Expected Behavior

Not glitch out.

Reproduction Instructions

I can't identify exactly what causes this. However this didn't happen before. I think something in the latest release causes this(in my end). Or I changed the compositor recently, from compton to picom. Maybe it has to do something with it. I'm not sure. I'll try disabling it. Also will be providing logs.

Environment

i3 version: 4.19

Config: https://bin.idrix.fr/?78c8b79b96dda261#DDY2ajNMsNENbJ2Lfxus68nAhd2DZymJsmg3xqbZjhBP

Sounds like a compositor issue to me. If the issue happens again try running killall picom and see if it fixes the issue.

* Does it happen without picom?

I've disabled picom and so far it's good. But it's only been an hour or so. Will keep you updated.

* Which is the exact output of `i3 --version`?

Sorry accidentally pressed 'close'

OraBB1t commented 3 years ago

Haven't had any issues with picom turned off. So we can confirm it's the source of the issue. Sorry I should've done that before posting the issue. Can anyone suggest how can I fix this? Shall I switch to another compositor?

Tonus1 commented 3 years ago

AFAIK no issue here with picom and i3-gaps, Slackware-current.

Perhaps picom settings ? Video card {,driver} ? To dig further we need more input. And perhaps an other place...

orestisfl commented 3 years ago

Since this is picom-specific, I'll close this issue but please feel free to comment further if you believe that this is caused by i3
