[SOLVED] GUI Rendering Issue: ckb-next

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an odd GUI rendering issue with ckb-next (version 0.6.0-1) and I've tried multiple fixes without success. I'm hoping to get some suggestions here.

Description of the issue:
When I switch between tabs in ckb-next, the software appears to be "lagging" by one "frame". For instance, when I click on a button to go to tab 2, nothing visually changes. But when I click back on tab 1, I observe the update of tab 2. It seems like the interface refreshes are one step behind. Interestingly, resizing the window seems to force a refresh and then the correct tab contents are displayed. The issue doesn't occur on my desktop which has a different hardware configuration but a similar software stack (runs on Arch Linux, same Qt version etc.).

System Setup:
    Software Version: ckb-next 0.6.0-1
    OS: Arch Linux
    Window Managers tried: i3, xmonad (without any compositor enabled)
    Graphics: Using Intel UHD Graphics 620

What I've tried so far:
    Different QT flags (e.g., QT_OPENGL=software), to no avail.
    Using picom as a compositor.
    Switching between xmonad and i3.
    Resetting the configuration of ckb-next.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. If more information or logs are needed, I'd be happy to provide them.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Yann

Remove xf86-video-intel if installed and reboot your system.

If that didn't fix it, post your xorg.log

Thanks, removing xf86-video-intel solved the rendering issue with ckb-next. It did however cause a problem with i3, so I decided to reinstall it after saving my ckb-next config.

Have a nice day!

What kind of problem? xf86-video-intel in general is unmaintained and pretty much dead, you probably rather fix the problem you have with i3 rather than rely on xf86-video-intel. But in case you want to look at that, make a new thread.
