Hi Kovid,
thank you very much for providing kitty
, I love it totally!
Please tell me which information you would need, or how I could debug this further.
Thank you so much in advance! Best, Lars
I just found the compositor picom
to be related to the issue. When disabling it, kitty
works normally. I will check now, whether it is only related to picom
, or to the combination of picom
and kitty
.
As soon as I change the picom
backend from glx
to xrender
, kitty
works flawlessly again. I do not have a clue – do you have any idea? I'll close the ticket anyhow.
No clue, I have never used picom in my life.
If anyone else faces the same issue: I have installed compton
from the debian sources as a replacement. It might have slightly different feature sets, but I could use my config as-is.
Describe the bug
Since upgrading today,
kitty
reponds very sluggishly, often times the screen is updated after every other key stroke (or mouse click). When hitting enter after a command, the output is shown only after I hit another key, e.g. thesudo
prompt does not appear without pressing another key.Besides, when I move between virtual desktops, existing
kitty
windows tend to show input from another application from the previously visited virtual desktop.When using any other terminal like
xterm
, it just works. Important: before upgrading to debian 13 today,kitty
has worked smoothly as always.I have tested against versions
0.25.3
0.25.5
(packaged w/ debian 13)0.27.1
To Reproduce
Unfortunately, I cannot offer an example for reproducing this. I haven't checked, whether this is a generic error in debian 13.
Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
Environment details
Additional context
kitty
behaves the same with or without custom config.I'm using
qtile
in version0.22.1
python
3.11.4 (packaged w/ debian)zsh
5.9 (although I get the same behaviour withbash
anddash
)I do not see the problem with any other application, which does not mean it is the only program with this issue.
