Desktop background flickers through maximized windows with `disable_border` enabled

kylethebaker commented 4 years ago

With disable_border enabled I will see my desktop background flicker through when switching between fullscreen windows (I think this is called the 'max' layout mode). This also happens when switching between workspaces.

I created a screen recording of it with a bright pink background so its extra noticeable. This is using mod+j to switch between two maximized windows a few times, then I toggle the bar on which adds the fullscreen border back and the flickering goes down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oxYG7zEYSA

I'm working around this right now by turning off disable_border and using color_focus_maximized with the same background color of my terminal so it blends in. This works alright, but isn't ideal with certain windows, because the border becomes noticeable.

I've disabled my compositor (picom) to rule that out, and it also occurs regardless of how I set the background the image/color (feh vs xsetroot)

I'm happy to provided any additional details
