Screen flicker when using Vivaldi while watching videos
-
So first major bug I bumped into is my screen flickers, this seems to happen after installing extensions but not before. Now it does go away if I set Vivaldi to use native window boarders but it is an odd issue. Here is what I am running Vivaldi on: Distro: Manjaro Linux Desktop: KDE Kernel: 4.1.20-1 64bit GPU: integrated intel GPU HD 4600 I have not tried it yet in other desktops yet but I dont think that is where the issue is, seems more like some odd bug brought in from the extensions. I would remove them but I find them useful such as adblock and gmail check. I only have four installed, the other two are silverbird and chromecast. I could remove each one to see what happens and report back but just letting you guys know I have this issue. EditL no its not the extensions, seems to happen with video playback. Hrm. Anther edit: with some further homework its some sort of GPU issue, vivaldi may not like my intel setup. I do have a amd laptop to try next but after some toying about I think this is a GPU issue of some kind. But it does go away at least when using native window decorations so good to let others know that if they have a simular issue to mine. Yup its a intel gpu issue Just confirmed using the amd setup using the same OS

Are the guys at vivaldi aware of this bug? Is it even a vivaldi bug? I have it and it's kind of annoying

I think it's better now with that parameter. I'll test it for a while and write back. It's weird though cause it's a high end gaming laptop and it has both intel and nvidia chips. If this doesn't happen in other browsers, doesn't that mean it's vivaldi's problem?

Here another one with that flick.
Vivaldi version: 1.1.453.47 (Stable channel) (64 bits)
Ubuntu 16.04
Kernel 4.4.0-21-generic
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2)
Processor: Intel Core i3-5005U CPU @ 2.00GHz × 4 64 bits -
Hi, I have same problem. This occurs only when i run vivaldi on intel.
Disabling Vsync solves the problem but couses higher cpu usage.
I use bubmlebee to run vivaldi on nvidia card and it works ok -
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "DRI" "3" Option "TearFree" "true" EndSection
Seems solved the problem.
Arch Linux, Intel i5 2500k.

I think this is a conflict with KDE, but it didn't start happening until after upgrading to Vivaldi 1.0.
I am using Kubuntu 16.04, and this issue exists when I choose to use Vivaldi without the native border, or when I start it using the native border, but discard the border by right-clicking it > "More Actions" > "No Border."Can anyone without KDE reproduce this issue?

Same problem on Ubuntu. I think videos aren't the only problem because sometimes I can watch videos on youtube for hours without flickering and sometimes it flickers like a stroboscope. Other browsers are OK.
Ubuntu 14.04 64b, Vivaldi 1.1.453.59 64b, GPU Intel HD 4000. -
