Screen corruption on Wayland (Not repainted?)

[HidenoriMatsubayashi]

The screen is distorted with high rate with flutter 3.7.0.

It seems this symptom depends on Ubuntu 22 (GNOME).

Is this issue possibly related to https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/119601? Does it only occur under some specific conditions (Ubuntu/Wayland)?

[HidenoriMatsubayashi]

Could be. Thanks for the information. Actually, I was not able to reproduce this issue on X11 backend and Sway (Wayland compositor). I can reproduce it only on Ubuntu 22 (GNOME, Weston).

Can you patch this when building flutter engine in CI pipeline? From my testing, the following patch solves this issue:

diff --git a/shell/platform/embedder/embedder_surface_gl.cc b/shell/platform/embedder/embedder_surface_gl.cc

I'm considering adding populate_existing_damage support instead.
