Flickering on Pale Moon 27.0.3 x64 - Fedora 25

Unread post by quicksilver03 » 2017-01-10, 23:58

I've installed Fedora 25 on a laptop with an Intel i915 video card, and using the Pale Moon 27.0.3 x64 binaries from linux.palemoon.org I see display flickering on several web pages.

I've made 2 videos showing the problem:
I'm able to reproduce this problem in safe mode as well. Other browsers on the same laptop have no issues with the pages where Pale Moon shows the issue. I've tried a fiddling with the video driver parameters (enable_rc6, enable_fbc, enable_psr) without success.

The result of about:support follows:

I assume that this has something to do with Fedora 25 using Wayland as default. I'll see if I can dig something up.

The actual session is KDE, which is still using X11 on Fedora 25. However, since I've never seen any such flickering on Fedora 24, there could definitely be some side-effect of the Wayland changes.

I also forgot to mention that turning on or off hardware acceleration has no effect of the issue, I'm always able to reproduce it.

Note for trava90,
I've been using Pale Moon on Wayland (from 26.4 to the current unstable version) and I've never experienced flickering, it even works better with things like video playing when the browser is fullscreen.
