Open KSTRTK opened 4 months ago
When that happens, could you open Looking glass (Alt+F2, lg, Enter), execute the following line, and show me the result?
Main.overview._overview.controls._bgManagers[0].backgroundActor
Thank you. Please, add the output of the following 2 lines (executed one by one) when the bug occurs and while the overview is open:
Main.overview._overview.controls._bgManagers[0].backgroundActor.opacity
Main.overview._overview.controls._bgManagers[0].backgroundActor.get_parent()
Edit 1: Btw, you haven't answered the question of whether the bug occurs when you disable all other extensions.
Edit 2: While testing V-Shell, before executing the lines above, open a terminal and execute:
journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f
Copy all errors and paste them here.
Hey,
Thanks for the input, I"ll try them out soon. Answering Edit 1: If I disable Compiz window effect and Compiz alike magic lamp effect it occurs much less frequently, apologies forgot to mention that in my earlier response. Would order of enabling the extensions make a difference?
Please, update from the main
branch before further testing. I've refactored the background code.
The order of enabling extensions could make a difference, but unfortunately, we don't have full control over it.
@KSTRTK ^^?
Apologies for the delayed response, I've just been busy with work. I have updated from the main branch and have not noticed the error so far, if that changes I'll ping this issue. Thank you for the changes
No problem, I just wasn't sure if you were notified about the first message. Btw, I released the update on e.g.o. today.

This issue is apparently not related to V-Shell. Shell.BlurEffect
causes the problem on multiple monitors on Wayland. Setting the connected monitors to Mirror
mode and then back to Join
really helped.
I recently installed the AUR-package mutter-performance (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mutter-performance) and the problem disappeared for me.
@marissa999 I'm going to try that out, I havne't had any issues for a few weeks, but just yesterday it started popping up. I'll post updates on how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion
@marissa999 I'm still facing issues, just an fyi
@G-dH @marissa999 I fixed the issue by installing blur my shell. Now, the issue doesn't pop-up at all. Its a workaround
