Project icons behave erratically under Linux

Opening a project from the Luxe launcher, when put into background focus puts some of the icons into rave mode.

Reproduction steps:

  1. Launch Luxe launcher.
  2. Open a project
  3. Cause the project window to lose focus.
  4. Some of the icons go in to rave mode.

This was under Void Linux

Kernels 5.5, 6.1, 6.6, 6,17

DE’s XFCE, Plasma and Cinnamon

Nvidia driver 580.105.08

WM lightdm

Under X11, haven’t tested under Wayland

This was using a laptop Nvidia 3070 dGPU as the primary output.

Switching to the AMD iGPU as the primary output and using that doesn’t cause it.

Thanks for the details and the post!

Here’s another instance which I assume is related:

Thanks!

I have a new build of the launcher which runs on SDL3 with proper scaling/wayland support, I’ll ping you on discord with the build and we can see if it affects this particular bug!

Just noting that the latest pre-release should fix this. If you test let me know, thanks!

Just did a quick test on XFCE and it seems to have fixed it. However I am also several versions behind with the NVIDIA driver at the moment due to problems with it and compositing in XFCE.

I’ll try to test some more when I can, real life is currently taking my all.

Thanks for testing @octopuddle! I’m on latest Nvidia on bazzite and saw it and the fix did solve it so I suspect it will be fine.

The bug was kinda sneaky, two unrelated things clashing, ui images have a free list of materials to reuse, and the editor was accidentally drawing the ui twice. That left in flight draws confused when stuff was done twice or overwritten in ways it didn’t expect so it would get other images in the slot.

Either way, glad to have found it!
