Window content flickering (randomly getting black when mouse moves)

[mpointner]

I just tried out the demo applications for Jetpack compose and on like every second start the window content flickers when moving with the mouse around:

Sometimes it also stays completely black at certain cursor positions.

System:

Windows 10 x64 Intellij Ultimate 2020.3.3 build 203.7717.56 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-11.0.8.10.1 SDK Android 8.0 Intel(R) HD Graficis 4600 (Monitor connected to this graphics card) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Output:

11:30:30: Executing task 'run'...

Whenever the flickering happens, the application also crashes when I try to resize the window:

The os does not support: 'Taskbar.setIconImage'

VM crash dump:

hs_err_pid25920.log

With SKIKO_RENDER_API=OPENGL as environment variable it works just fine.

Maybe new Angle-based renderer may help here. Decided, that it's not exactly the path we want to follow.

[olonho]

Please attach VM crashdump, or at least stacktrace from it.

[mpointner]

Added the stacktrace, how do I get the VM crash dump?

[olonho]

From file like C:\Users\Michael\Documents\Projects\compose-jb-master\examples\codeviewer\desktop\hs_err_pid2756.log. Actually the stacktrace I asked for is native one from the crashdump. Also what is exact videocard model? And what if you'll use OpenGL renderer (set SKIKO_RENDER_API=OPENGL)?

[mpointner]

Updated the description with the crashdump. With SKIKO_RENDER_API=OPENGL as environment variable it works just fine, tried like ten times without flickering/crashing when resizing.

[mpointner]

@olonho did you find something out from the crashdump that could fix it for the default renderer?
