Description Patrice FERLET 2022-01-03 10:51:29 UTC
Description of problem:

Using Blender on Fedora 35 is strongly impacted and unusable for some Intel hardware. The problem is described here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5782

And resolution is here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5731

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
21.3.3


How reproducible:

Always...


Steps to Reproduce:
Open Blender and use 3rd button to rotate the view, the UI is flickering

Actual results:

UI is flickering

Expected results:

UI should be stable

Additional info:

I tried the patch on SRPM and rebuilt it. It's only 1 line of code that impacts ASYNC directive on Iris drivers.

Applying the patch found at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5731#note_1205469 to mesa-21.3.3-1.fc35 fixes the issue of viewport flickering in Blender for me.

Comment 2 John Brooks 2022-01-05 22:59:03 UTC
This bug also exists for some QtQuick applications and mpv in certain configurations (such as -profile gpu-hq).

Comment 3 Patrice FERLET 2022-01-20 20:33:15 UTC
The package was upgraded to 21.3.5 and Blender is now unusable again.

I will try to reapply the patch to the new SRPM...

It's extremely important to fix this please.
