Bug ID: 432097
Summary: Slow/skipping mouse behaviour
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.20.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: d...@rhoatech.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Every so often (10-15 mins) the mouse movement slows and seems to skip around
the screen. My system was originally running a Nvidia GPU, which I then swapped
to an AMD GPU (After removing all nvidia packages) and I immediately began
noticing this odd mouse behaviour.
I reformatted the system and reinstalled but I still noticed the mouse slow
downs/skipping. I have tried using X11, and Wayland - both exhibit the same
problem.
I've run a number of benchmarks and did not encounter any drops in performance
when this problem occurs (CPU or GPU). I also ran evhz to monitor the polling
rate, and did not encounter any changes to the polling rate when the problem
occurs.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Move the mouse
2. After some time either idle on the desktop, or in a game
OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse slows/skips around the screen
EXPECTED RESULT
Mouse moves smoothly

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried to record the behaviour using SimpleScreenRecorder but strangely, the
recording did not exhibit the same problems with the mouse despite it being
visible on screen.
