Summary | 0005820: Menu Screen flickering on 2019.4 VMWare Workstation Pro | ||||
Description | Every version of 2019.4 I have tried on VMWare Workstation Professional seems to have the same flickering issue. The menu panel and terminal screen flicker whenever I move the mouse around the screen. I've done this on a 2019.2 that I've upgraded to .4 as well as a freshly downloaded 2019.4 VM with the same results. I'm not sure which logs you would need, please let me know and I will happily attach the output. | ||||

Can easily be recreated, on both VBox and VMware. Disabling 3D acceleration in the settings for the VM stops this issue however. Must be some sort of issue caused by 3D acceleration. |

Changing the xfwm (compositor) vblank method to 'xpresent' or 'off' resolved this for me under VMware Workstation 15.5 with 3D acceleration enabled. Restart xfwm with vblank set to 'xpresent': Restart xfwm with vblank set to 'off': Permanently set the vblank method: Documentation on xfwm vblank: |
