Weird flickerings with the circle #77

Open minhduc0711 opened 2 years ago

I start seeing issue when I updated to https://github.com/swaywm/sway/commit/b223f702500d7cda6336e948062d680f07f34f66 and https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/commit/7c10a77e0a6360d559e8c9b4ba5df0d72f0b2b3f. I am not able to reproduce this with https://github.com/swaywm/swaylock/commit/2bf76009e1d279a4194d37b9ee4f2bf0d9424d62.

I am having a similar issue although not as severe, As the time changes there is often a 'stuttering' and sometimes the seconds will just get stuck flickering back and forth.

There is also a stuttering/flickering with the typing indicator although not as severe as @minhduc0711 has demonstrated.

I am running Arch and with sway-borders-git and wlroots-git, both updated to the latest. I have not tested with older versions as this is a relatively new install.

The new wlroots version has also appeared to have broken launching VS-Code with the Ozone options, it was working about a month ago. I saw an issue somewhere about it, not sure if this is relevant but I will try link it anyway.

I believe it was the --fade-in effect that makes the problem more severe for me. After disabling it, only the keyboard layout indicator continues to flicker.

I had the same issue with swaylock-effects on my Gentoo setup. I don't use the "official" Gentoo overlay, I made an ebuild in my local overlay, so I had more control over it.

That aside, with --fade-in 0.1 present, I had flickering and jitter in the clock seconds. However, with --fade-in 0.2 the flickering and jitter disappears. I can't tell any visual difference, and the issue is gone.

Live (git) versions of sway, wlroots and swaylock-effects.

I hope this helps.

Edit: the issue returned with --fade-in 0.2, but it completely disappeared with just --fade-in.
