Conky-git is flickering every time it updates values on the screen.

Issue Conky-git is flickering every time it updates values on the screen.

Information Conky version is the latest conky-git that is available in the Arch repo. I tried all possible settings for own window type and other stuff but it still flickers. The curious thing is that it didn't flicker with kernel versions 5.0.3 through 5.2.5. I made a video using simplescreenrecorder that shows the flickering: https://www87.zippyshare.com/v/A343Cxyy/file.html You might wanna download it within 30 days cuz after that time passes, it will be automatically removed by zippyshare. I was hoping that installing conky-git would fix the problem but it didn't.

Do we require your config? If no, delete this part. Otherwise, place your config inside lua triple backticks. [DELETE ME]

I see double_buffer = false.

Thanks, lasers, that fixed it! I don't know what double buffer was for, so I didn't touch it.
