Regression?

Probably not a regression / I don't remember it happening before

Description

When using (touchpad) swipe to switch workspaces, if a video is playing in the workspace that is being switched to, dropped frames/part of the video switching to new frame before the rest (idk what you would call that, a splice maybe?) is observed up until the switching is completed (which is until the touchpad is let go of.).

Weirdly, different issues come up in different circumstances:

1. Just plain video and misc. apps open - only dropped frames occurs
2. OBS (is open with screen capture/open without screen capture/recording):
   • if there are no non-empty workspaces in between obs and video player - frame splicing occurs(? again idk what to call it), the stuck frame sometimes repeats the few frames around the stuck frame as well
   • if there are some non-empty workspaces in between obs and video player - only dropped frames occurs
3. OBS (is in any state but with desktop audio output and/or mic audio being captured) - no issues observed

I did test it with performance mode (power-profiles-daemon) with AC plugged in to ensure it wasn't just my laptop struggling, and it most certainly is not the case.

Does not seem to be application dependent, Tested on the following

• zen browser (flatpak)
• firefox (non flatpak, from package manager .eopkg)
• vlc (.eopkg & flatpak)

I also tried increasing the animation time for switching workspaces to see if normal switching via keybinds caused the same issue, and it does not seem to be the case.

How to reproduce

1. Open up a video
2. Switch to a different workspace
3. Switch back to workspace in which the video is running using the swipe gesture
4. issue is observed in different forms in different circumstances up until the swipe gesture is completed

Update: anything that changes the screen state a lot suffers, not just video playback (tested with https://loading.io/css/). Will change title accordingly

this is quite odd. Can you try building from -git and seeing if it happens still?
