sway: Flickering and crash

Windows flickers like anything (even terminals) while scrolling. This does not show up when swaygrab -c is on, hence a video from my mobile phone https://goo.gl/photos/nBq1Td3wA8AEKyeDA . The system hard-crashes occassionally (no magic keys to the rescue; only hard reset) but not sure if this is related to the flicker. Tried to redirect sway -d to a log file but loses it during the crash. Ready to provide any log…

This has been confirmed to not affect wlroots, so we’ll probably just sit tight.

See if you can reproduce it on older kernels. If you can, start doing a bisect. Try older wlc builds if that doesn’t work. Maybe things like libdrm as well. Narrow down the problem.
