KC (kc12) wrote : Video tearing in Celluloid with new Yaru theme

Description: Ubuntu Eoan Ermine (development branch)
Release: 19.10

My specs:
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos PRO [Radeon HD 7450]
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz

Latest version of Celluloid (0.17) obtained by PPA: https://launchpad.net/~xuzhen666/+archive/ubuntu/gnome-mpv

When I use the new Ubuntu 19.10 dev theme (all gray Yaru), video playback starts to tear in Celluloid (I wasn't able to capture it with SimpleScreenRecorder, sorry, the tearing does not appear in the capture).
Really similar tearing occurs with Adwaita as the enabled theme.
It however does NOT occur at all with the older Yaru theme (which I copied from my Ubuntu 19.04 install).

There is no tearing with any of the themes enabled in Wayland.
Tearing is scant and impossible to appreciate in VLC.
These issues occur only in X, and in Celluloid.

The reason I'm reporting this to you is because it coincides with the theme change.
