Created attachment 356373 [details] WPE Youtube TV Using the Youtube TV with WPE in r238737 causes some images to flick while navigating the UI (see attached screencast). Cannot reproduce this with WebKitGTK+ 2.22.4 and WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1. Tested with WPE's MiniBrowser in gnome-shell on wayland and weston.

Flickering doesn't happen before https://trac.webkit.org/r238583 Found it through git-bisect.

Sorry for this regression. It suggests that WPE is doing something differently with compositing, but I don't know what that is. From the video it looks like that kind of content would be composited all the time, so it shouldn't fall into the "only compositing layer is the root" code path.

I could not look into it carefully, but I think the content is just composited during the animations. Once the animations are finished (and before they begin) the root layer is the only one that's composited.

Possibly the same as bug 192597?

(In reply to Simon Fraser (smfr) from comment #5) > Possibly the same as bug 192597? It is indeed. Just tested before/after r239146 and you fixed the problem for here too. Thanks a lot! :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 192597 ***
