A video with minor jittering/flickering
SUMMARY
Inside browsers and electron apps, as shown in the video attached, I am seeing
elements seemingly revert to previous states for a moment, flicker, or turn
black. This is constant while watching videos. While writting this issue I am
seeing text disapear, the blue highlight move up to the title bar, and the
bottom section disapear. Though I havent caught it on video, I see the same
issue on spotify with it sometimes going black. This is not the case in the
latest plasma 5 release. This has been the case after a re-install of arch
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log on to a plasma 6 wayland session
2. Open a browser, electron app, steam, or some games
3. watch a video, write text, or do something which may cause the screen to
update like changing tabs in a mail client.
OBSERVED RESULT
State seems to revert, only visually, for a moment and some screens loose all
elements. Normal applications such as dolphin, kitty with neovim, kate, are not
effected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Elements remain updated, the application or video shows video is smooth without
flickering or jittering
