When switching virtual desktops back to the one where Firefox is open, when
certain pages are displaying on the active tab, the window contents do not
repaint until moving the mouse over a mouseover effect (e.g. a hoverable
link) changes the window status. The window then shows its contents.
This started for me with Firefox 73, got somewhat better with Firefox 74
(could only reproduce it on one page, a specific Vbulletin forum listing)
and got worse than ever with Firefox 75. Now it happens with most pages
that have a list of hoverable links. For example Vbulletin forum listings,
and even
https://www.kernel.org
This does not happen with Fluxbox, seems to be only with TDE/twin. I can
reproduce it on both my Manjaro and Linux From Scratch systems.
I thought maybe enabling the compositing ("composition manager") might help
with this (I build support for it, but I don't enable it) but it neither
helps nor harms.
A previous cause of this in Firefox was "focusmanager.testmode" but that's
set to false now and not applicable.
Anybody else seeing this behaviour, or know of any settings or command line
arguments for twin that might change this paint behaviour?
Thanks,
