Chromium/Opera “randomly” not rendering in i3

I'm on 18.04, using i3, and sometimes when I go from some workspace to a workspace containing chromium or opera, those windows aren't redrawing. I can still press ctrl+s to open a "save to" popup, which renders fine.



The behaviour is quite quirky, and it happens maybe twice a day, and I can't seem to find a way to reproduce it reliably. Here are a bunch of observations:




  1. I think I usually have cpu usage of 20%+ (according to mpstat 2 1 | awk '$12 ~ /[0-9.]+/ { print 100 - $12"%" }'), when it happens

  2. After it happens, I can't use mod+q (to quit window from i3), ctrl+q (to quit from opera), but I can seem to be able to run ctrl+w to quit a tab, even if I don't see it immediately. When I reopen opera, that tab is gone

  3. I can quit the process by running fkill opera, or the appropriate amount of pkill opera

  4. About a week ago, I was running ubuntu 16.04 with i3, and I already had problems. I thought maybe getting a fresh install would help, but it didn't. It worked fine for a few days, but after ~3 days, I started getting the errors again, so maybe there's a package that I installed that broke it?

  5. Opera/Chromium didn't always do this. It started about 1-2 months ago

  6. When it does the rendering bug, it simply shows whatever was occupying those pixels in the previous workspace.

  7. I can still open terminals and other windows on that workspace, and they will display just fine. If I then shrink or remove them, the pixels previously occupied by that new window will now have changed to whatever was in those windows

  8. the mouse cursor doesn't leave a trail

  9. I think it happened with other resource-heavy windows, but I don't remember for sure


I haven't managed to isolate the conditions and versions of the browsers, i3, or other packages. I'm running the latest stable of everything, as far as I know.



From what I can tell, it could be anything from a driver error, to a bug in some package. I'm not even sure where to look for possible logs of this



Any suggestions? Does this happen to anyone else? Should I report this to opera/chrome? Should I also file a bug report for i3? I'm very confused

          How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

          Image
          3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

          Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

          Image
          up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx

          Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

          0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct.
