[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 12034 bytes --]

Hey folks,

I'm using a recent git build of Emacs on Arch Linux, with pgtk and
nativecomp. Since a recent update, text started becoming blurry when
scrolling with the mousewheel, or even just when inserting a newline. So
basically, any time text is "moved" without being fully redrawn.

I can reproduce it reliably with my own config, but can't with plain
`emacs -Q`. It also happens more reliably in emacsclient on my external
monitor, although it sometimes "flashes" as blurry text in emacs on my
laptop screen.

Other important details:
- I'm running Wayland with Sway (latest stable version)
- my laptop screen and external screen have different scale factor: 2
for laptop screen, 1 for external screen.

This can be fixed temporarily by focusing the blurred line/paragraph, or
with M-x redraw-display. But another scroll or newline will repeat the issue.

So, I used git bisect to try to find the faulty commit. The result is
that this behavior started with commit
6da021fce86a06a97b0bff76f69aa57759533dc9: "Fix artifacting on PGTK when
bits are copied with an alpha channel".

Attached is a patch that seems to solve this issue for me without
completely reverting that commit. I'm not sure if it's really a correct
fix; please email me if you need any more details or testing!

Best,
Thomas

Hello,

I have been experiencing this bug and the patch fixes the issue 
for me.

I'm also running sway on wayland with a laptop screen at 2 scaling 
so my setup is very similar to Thomas's.

Thanks,

Morgan

This was the first thing I tried as well, but this didn't solve this
issue for me, and I had to revert to cairo_surface_create_similar(). I
don't know how they are different, but I couldn't get it to work with
gdk_window_create_similar_surface().

The reason `cairo_surface_create_similar' doesn't work is that Emacs
recently gained a feature that allows frames to have a transparent
background with opaque text, and surfaces created that way don't work to
preserve the alpha channel when copying bits, so going back to that is
not a solution.

Does this patch help?

That makes sense, thanks a lot for the explanation :)

Yes, that seems to solve it for me!

I'm afraid I didn't test enough: I just re-built Emacs with your latest
patch, and the issue is still here.

It doesn't happen all the time, though: for instance, it happens in a
frame that takes the whole screen and was never resized, but it doesn't
happen in the frame where I'm writing this message, which was resized to
take half my screen. (I think that was already the case before your
patch, though.)

And once I've resized the frame where it happened, it doesn't happen
anymore, even when it's back to the same size as before.

Could it be related to some difference between the window size requested
by Emacs, and the size assigned by sway?

No, it's probably some edge case with GTK's device scaling we're bumping
into when a frame partly extends (by one or two pixels) into the other
monitor.

Could you try to find the value of `scale' in `pgtk_copy_bits' when it
is called with the frame potentially extended into the other monitor,
perhaps by placing a breakpoint or inserting some print statements at
line 2941 of pgtkterm.c?

Thanks.

Sadly that doesn't seem to be it: scale is 1 on my external monitor, and
2 on the internal one.

I've tried to log many other things (src_rect and dst_rect size and
positions, frame pixel_width and text_width, pgtk_output preferred_width
and _height, cr_surface_desired_width and _height, gdk_window width and
height)... and there's no difference between before I resize the frame,
and after I resize it. Yet, once I've resized it, the problem
disappears.

What happens if you replace:

  scale = gtk_widget_get_scale_factor (FRAME_GTK_WIDGET (f));
  cairo_surface_set_device_scale (surface, scale, scale);

With:

  cairo_surface_set_device_scale (surface, 1, 1);

But aside from that stab in the dark, I'm really clueless as to what
might be happening.  Thanks.

I have been trying various mods to try to clarify the status. Don't know
whether or not any of this is useful :( I think all of these were tried
before but I wanted to summarize four cases:

1. The width and height used for the temporary surface: I don't really
   know what the "right" values are, but the current code uses
   FRAME_CR_SURFACE_DESIRED_WIDTH (f), etc. I tried changing this to
   src_rect->width, etc In debugging I can see that these values differ
   (the FRAME_CR_SURFACE width is larger by the pixel-width of the
   scrollbar, e.g., and the height from the src_rect varies a lot from
   call to call while the FRAME_CR_SURFACE stays fixed)

2. Replacing the gdk_window_create_similar_surface with cairo_surface_create_similar.

So that's four possible cases. All fail (in the same way, with blurry
image) EXCEPT

cario_surface_create_similar (FRAME_CR_SURFACE (f),
CAIRO_CONTENT_COLOR_ALPHA, (int) src_rect->width, (int)
src_rect->height)

I see the comment in the bug thread that this breaks the
alpha-background, but it seems to work fine for me? I didn't try much,
just
(set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'alpha-background 85)
and it behaved exactly as it did without the change.

I notice that the code for gdk_window_create_similar_surface ends up
calling cairo_surface_create_similar (I think)

I'm happy to continue trying things if you have any other
suggestions. But maybe the switch to cairo_surface_create_similar is OK?

On my system, calling cairo_surface_create_similar and copying from that
always results in the contents copied being fully opaque.

Maybe you are using some different GDK visual class?  Sadly, I don't
know how to extract that information on Wayland, but it should be
somewhere inside the GTK inspector (evaluate "(x-gtk-debug") for it to
show up.)

Thanks.

That's only defined in xfns.c which isn't built for pgtk; took me
awhile to get it enabled :)

I'm looking at the inspector and trying to find it. Under the "General"
tab I find:

RGBA visual (check mark)

Nothing else obvious (under the "Visual" tab there is nothing
relevant---its mostly  info like icon theme, animations, etc)

Sorry for not finding anything more helpful.

Interesting.  If it works for you, I'm willing to dismiss it as
something specific to my system, since I messed with various settings a
little too much.

I will restore the old code shortly and close this bug.

Now done, please see if that solves your problem.  Thanks.
