The tearing gradually shifts up or down the screen, suggesting its a cycle frequency miss-match (or floating-point error). Has affected mesa 12 and kernel 4.8 onwards.

Don't think I can show a video as I don't have a high-end camera or capture card, but it affects vanilla Kubuntu 16.10 and 17.04 at least.

XRender and auto, I have tried the full-repaint but it didn't seem to have an effect.

It's also reasonably obvious that for some GUIs their buttons will update their two triangles across two frames instead of one, this seems to be a much rarer occurrence with the above settings however.

Yeah, this is unavoidable with apps which use X11 drawing primitives targeting their windows directly.

I did have this enabled for a while, but plasma got super erratic after I had launched a game, I'll give it another shot and see if it does it again. I'm also going to try with 'allow applications to disable composition' unchecked in case something was disabling the compositor...

Automatically used with DRI3.

I'm in Mesa 17.1 on Kernel 4.12.11 in KDE Manjaro Linux. I am using a display port and this happens both at 144hz and 60hz. I've tried recording it using OBS, however, it did not show up in the video. I've also tried using compton and enabling full-screen reprints. Compton did not help at all, and enabling full-screen reprint v-sync helped a small amount but did not stop it from happening. Switching between Kwin and OpenGL 3.1 did not change anything.

BTW, Paul, does this mean that the problem doesn't occur if you use Mesa < 12 or kernel < 4.8? If so, can you bisect Mesa or the kernel?

I don't really know but I figured it sounds very similar. I also figured that posting here would be better than making a new bug report. > > I've tried recording it using OBS, however, it did not show up in the > > video. > > Can you take an external video (e.g. using a cell phone) demonstrating the > problem? Here is a cellphone capture of the screen-tearing I'm talking about in Stardew Valley. It is mostly happens indoors, and happens outdoors occasionally. https://vid.me/n0t1r It also happens on the desktop sometimes, although (most likely) too rarely for me to capture. It also happens this noticeably in Torchlight II, if you would want me to record that as well.

I dont really know exactly what might cause this, but I do know that running applications in fullscreen at a different resolution to native can result in various buffer corruption...

Windowed, I rarely run things in fullscreen, of which it's usually borderless windowed anyway. I don't remember if setting the vblank mode actually worked though...

I'm afraid that was the wrong call, please file your own report. In general, it's easy to mark duplicate bug reports, but it's hard to untangle information about different problems in a single report, so it's better to start with a separate report unless one is at least 99% sure it's exactly the same problem. Also, lots of different causes can produce similar symptoms. > Here is a cellphone capture of the screen-tearing I'm talking about in > Stardew Valley. BTW, that's not what "tearing" refers to in the display context.
