Hello y'all,
I would like to start off by stating that I am a first-time user of Arch Linux so please keep that in mind.
I use arandr on my Openbox environment to manage my monitor setup.
This (link) is the particular monitor I have which I'm having issues with.
I have checked the manufacturer's specified refresh rate and the one listed on xrandr and the monitor is configured to 60.00Hz.
Now, if I do something on my primary monitor, then switch focus back to my external by selecting the terminal and I press a key on the keyboard the screen will go completely black for about 2-3 seconds and then it's fine as long as I don't switch focus back to my primary.
For some reason I can only reproduce this 33-50% of the time, but sure enough if I switch back and forth a few times the problem insists, so it's not a coincidence.
I'm not sure it could possibly cause a problem like this, but I do use compton for my compositing; other than that I can't think of any other applications that could cause such a problem.
Thank you for your assistance, and best regards:
pr0xmeh.

Edit:
I recorded a video (link) of the problem.
I should also note that the problem also occurred when I opened the video in SMPlayer: my settings are configured to automatically go into full-screen mode, and while transitioning to full-screen the blinking occurred.
I have not noticed the problem occur to me at all with Atom nor Thunar.
2nd Edit:
The problem persists with SMPlayer after disabling full-screen, potentially happens after opening any file (audio or video).
3rd Edit:
Also occurs while fast-forwarding on SMPlayer.
