Description of the issue:
When I start Brave with no restored tabs, I get a tab with a graphic, some statics and a time. In the default configuration, it flickers and tears, and future pages continue to flicker and tear.
When I start it with the --disable-gpu command-line option, it seems to load cleanly and stop spinning.
I view this as a continuation of:
and the advice came from here:
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
- Start Brave.
- Close all tabs.
- Start xscope.
- Start Brave with DISPLAY= pointing to xscope.
- Watch flickering.
- Quit brave.
- Kill xscope; eg ^c q ^m
- Start xscope
- Start brave with --disable-gpu
- Watch non-flickering.
- Move mouse over brave window; observe continued non-flickering.
- Quit brave.
- Fill xscope as 7. above.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
I will attach xscope output if I can work out how.
Expected result:
Accelerated and non-accelerated output are both clean.
Reproduces how often:
Always.
