Comment (by 49ax56xr36): Replying to [comment:15 yawning]: > Try setting `layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled` to `false`. Behavior is noticeably different on my Poulsbo Atom box (using the open source 2D only drivers). The default for this setting in 6.0.1 is =false and that's what has been in effect. Set it to =true and it works better both with xrender=false and xrender=true. Seems a proper result as the event loop is presumably separated from rendering and can respond to mouse and keyboard events even while the browser is bogged down rendering. I'm keeping 'offmainthreadcomposition' active and leaving 'xrender' disabled. Disabling 'xrender' by default is potentially a diffcult choice--have no position on it. But considering that worst-case beahavior with xrender=true is terrible and worst-case with xrender=false is not-bad it might be a good idea. Or maybe see if there's a "dumb bug" in there that can be fixed. Making the same calls multiple times or in a non-optimal order come to mind. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19276#comment:16> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
