Going between direct scanout and compositing causes a several second freeze

Open mike7d7 opened this issue 2 months ago • 18 comments

Sometimes a fullscreened window causes lag when switching to another window, it freezes for about 5 seconds and then everything is back to normal, and also the other way around, when switching from another window to the fullscreened window.

The video isn't lagging, that's what I see on my monitor. I move the cursor in circles so it's easier to show how it freezes and unfreezes. Also the audio doesn't have any issues, so I guess it is only niri freezing.
