I'm having some problems when resizing certain windows in bspwm.
Examples:
- https://youtu.be/1uOcOCSVsvM .
Visual Studio Code
: this one is obvious
- https://youtu.be/PmRwh_S6gIY . 2 Sublime Text
windows, tiled: This one is more subtle. You can see the scrollbars of both windows glitch out a bit. The right window is the most apparant.
- https://youtu.be/oDE-CUMr6fI . 2 Thunar
windows, tiled: Same issue: you can see the right side of the right window glitch out.
- https://youtu.be/Zycu9PV6gMY . Firefox
and Konsole
, tiled: You can see the firefox window shows a white background when resizing. In the konsole window you can see the scrollbar glitches like the previous 2 points.
- https://youtu.be/UqDJcKurbiw . gnome-terminal
, tiled: This one is really weird: I resize the window with super
+right-click
. Only when I release the right mouse button, it shows the resized window. Also when I keep moving the mouse, for example in circles as I did in the video, the window size keeps decreasing.
What I've tried:
- Testing without compton: same results
- Testing with the Nvidia GPU disabled in BIOS: same results
- Rebooting
- Setting pointer_motion_interval
from 17 to 40: slight improvement but the problem doesn't go away. Any higher and resizing windows will lag.
- I use Nvidia's DRM KMS to eliminate tearing. I disabled it. Now I have the same problems, but with tearing.
I have no idea what to try next to troubleshoot this issue.
