Kubuntu panel, starter, desktop do not redraw on change using EGL in kwin

[Ferry Toth]

After my upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10 certain Plasma elements don't redraw.
This affects the task bar (in the panel), the starter and the desktop at least.

So after starting an application it's not shown in the task bar. After adding a favourite it's not shown in the starter and after dropping a file on the desktop it's not shown.

For the task bar I found a work around, by selecting the auto hide function. So each time I move to the bottom edge the task bar pops up, gets redrawn and shows the correct open applications.

For the starter: after adding a favourite, click the starter icon (closes), then click again (opens with the change shown).

For the desktop I could only logoff, then login.

Prior to upgrading I had 15.04 with the Kubuntu Backports installed, and had not this issue.

Set KWin to use EGL via KDE System Settings.
With Version 2.99.917-6.20150211.fc22 everything works fine, with 2.99.917-15.20150729.fc22 several Plasma widgets (most notably the digital clock) stop updating after a minute or so.

As far as I can tell now, this issue has a relation to the compositor:
- it occurs when selected rendering backend OpenGl 3.1, interface EGL
- it occurs when selected rendering backend OpenGl 2.0, interface EGL

- it does not occur when selected interface GLX
- it does not occur when selected XRender

As it may be OpenGl related, it will be useful to know that that this is on Intel Haswell:

Apparently there is a problem in xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.99.917 when using EGL.

Looks like dependency problems in the python libraries.

But since first reporting, in the meanwhile I used Kubuntu Backports to upgrade to plasma 5.5.3, qt 5.5.1 and I am running kernel amd64 4.4.0-040400-generic from ubuntu kernel ppa.

I also tried newer xorg from xorg-edgers and oibaf.

All of this changes nothing.

Ferry Toth, one may perform the apport-collect via a live environment -> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
