Title:
  Heavy stuttering in Firefox with mutter 45.1/45.2

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mutter source package in Mantic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  There is heavy stuttering visible in Firefox with mutter 45.1/45.2
  when kinetic scrolling a non-animated web page with a touchpad. This
  is a regression introduced upstream in mutter 45.1 (8f27ebf8).

  [ Test Plan ]

  0. Find a laptop with a touchpad.
  1. Open a simple web page like a Wikipedia page in Firefox.
  2. Use two fingers on the touchpad to fling it so it continues scrolling.

  Expect: The scrolling proceeds and slows perfectly smoothly.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Anywhere in frame scheduling (visual smoothness), since that is the
  code affected.

  [ Other Info ]

  The bug was introduced upstream in 45.1 by
  
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/commit/8f27ebf87eee6057992a90560d4118ab7bdf138d
  but since it only hurts the triple buffering patch, that's where it
  has been fixed:

  
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Ubuntu/mutter/-/commit/0b896518b2028d9c4d6ea44806d093fd33793689
  
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Ubuntu/mutter/-/commits/triple-buffering-v4-45

  [ Workaround ]

  In /etc/environment:

    MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always

  or "never" also works. Just not "auto" because the bug is in auto mode
  (the default).
