Issues with Wayfreeze

[0A11vr]

Please fill out the following:

• Scroll Version:

  • scrollmsg -t get_version or scroll -v
    scrollmsg -t get_version
    scroll version 1.13-dev
    Revision: f954ce8

• Debug Log:

  • Run scroll -d 2> ~/scroll.log from a TTY and upload it to a pastebin, such as gist.github.com.
  • This will record information about scroll's activity. Please try to keep the reproduction as brief as possible and exit scroll.
  • Attach the full file, do not truncate it.
    I don't think a debug log will be useful given the context, but please let me know if you'd like one or if it would be helpful.

• Configuration File:

  • Please try to produce with the default configuration.
  • If you cannot reproduce with the default configuration, please try to find the minimal configuration to reproduce.
  • Upload the config to a pastebin such as gist.github.com.
    I am using default configuration values which should not be related. If you'd like to know the configuration, please let me know.

• Stack Trace:

  • This is only needed if sway crashes.
  • If you use systemd, you should be able to open the coredump of the most recent crash with gdb with
    coredumpctl gdb scroll and then bt full to obtain the stack trace.
  • If the lines mentioning sway or wlroots have ?? for the location, your binaries were built without debug symbols. Please compile both sway and wlroots from source and try to reproduce.

• Description:

  • The steps you took in plain English to reproduce the problem.
    I use a screenshot shell script that utilizes wayfreeze. This works well on Mango, Niri and Swayfx.
    On Scroll there are two issues (I'm not sure if they are related).

1. Only one of my two displays gets frozen (the one that is active when invoking wayfreeze).
2. There is a visual anomaly on the bottom right quarter of the screen - within my screenshot workflow that anomaly is not present when capturing (but it obscures that area of the screen).

I've uploaded two videos to help show one of these issues, if more information is needed, please let me know.

Scroll wayfreeze bug
Swayfx working correctly

When you say regression, did this work in the past? Does this work in sway? (not SwayFX, which uses a different version of wlroots).

Please forgive me if "regression" was not the best description and/or not technically accurate.

I didn't realize that Sway and Swayfx used different versions of wlroots - thank you for letting me know.

I tested on Sway and wayfreeze works "as expected".

It is related to layer_shell animations. Until I figure out what the application is doing, set your layer_shell animations to no and it won't happen.

animations {
  layer_shell no
}

You can also move your mouse around to change focus and the artifact will disappear.

This should be fixed in 21177c4.

Thank you!
