Bug or Regression?

Regression

Description

When switching between special workspaces, the blurred background seems dimmed a bit at first (which happens even when I set dim_special=0 in hyprland.conf) while toggle an existing one won't have this issue.

This issue occurs since version 0.33.0-1.

How to reproduce

Open multiple special workspaces, and switching between them.

does it happen without blur too?

[BRS5672023]

does it happen without blur too?

Yes, the same issue occurs and maybe more evident if no blur but transparency enabled

[vaxerski]

hm, sounds like double rendering. Is this a regression? does this happen in e.g. 0.34?

Okay, it seems to be a regression, happens on 0.33.0-1, but not on 0.32.3-1

[vaxerski]

could you git bisect?

[BRS5672023]

could you git bisect?

Sorry that I'm not familiar with git, please tell me anything so that I can help...

[thejch]

Seems to be from the same time when the other bunch of double rendering issues happened. It was actually mentioned before here: #3888 (comment)

[vaxerski]

[thejch]

[SleeperOfSaturn]

Edit2 - Here's the recording ->

Edit3 - This is totally different bug and it got fixed in 0.38.1

[KAGEYAM4]

@BRS5672023 after 0.38.1, does this bug still happen for you? you can close the issue if it dosen't.

Yes, it still happens to me...

[KAGEYAM4]

Yes, it still happens to me...

I downgraded to 38.0 and tried reproducing your bug ->

bind = $mainMod, S, togglespecialworkspace,
bind = $mainMod, R, togglespecialworkspace , what

Opened floating terminal on one and anki on other, switched between them. but could not reproduce what you have shown in the video.

I was able to reproduce the bug i posted above.

Not sure if the bug i was facing the same thing or not.

You could try to see if you can reproduce same thing with clean hyprland config with enough changes to reproduce the bug.

I'm not sure what do you mean for "floating", you mean floating in a special workspace?

workspace=special:dropterm,on-created-empty:kitty
workspace=special:dropterm1,on-created-empty:kitty

bind=$mainMod,T,togglespecialworkspace,dropterm
bind=$mainMod,M,togglespecialworkspace,dropterm1

With lines above, I could reproduce this bug on version 0.38.1-1 by alternatively toggling between two special workspaces.

ok, i could reproduce it too now, it wasn't working before because i had xray = true # blur section.

This is your old reply, how did you installed these old packages? Manually downloaded them and then installed them ? For me i use this https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade

[BRS5672023]

Is it still a thing?

I can still repro it on AQ

@KAGEYAM4 , I just download the packages from Archlinux Archive ...
