Screen Corruption on Unlock

[smasher816]

I was playing around with this after trying i3lock-wrapper but finding it too slow. The blurring functionality works great and is much quicker. However, after I type my password I get some pretty crazy screen corruption (The pattern does not appear at once, but instead snakes across the screen a block at a time until the whole display is covered). Switching to a vtty and back to Xorg will clear it up and reveal my desktop. This does not happen if I remove the '-f' option.

I am using the proprietary nvidia drivers (v358.16-3 from the arch linux repositories).

That indeed is a nasty corruption. Only thing I can do is to recheck, If I close all the OpenGL resources correctly. However I am not able to do it soon, because I have exams.

No worries. Focus on your exams :)

I decided to look into this again and found one of the previously closed issues - https://github.com/karulont/i3lock-blur/issues/5. It seems that if compton is not running this corruption does not appear. As soon as I start compton again then the corruption once again happens at the "verifying" message after typing my correct password. If I type an incorrect password then it says "wrong" and I can do another attempt.

So from this it seems as though the error is in the cleanup (when i3lock is closing after typing a correct password), and only when compton is running. I hope that helps some.
