I have noticed that in a update in the last ~4 days the steam client began to flicker when rendering sometimes

Steps for reproducing this issue:

(reproduction is not reliable)

  1. Open Steam client
  2. Move around different tabs
  3. Maybe observe flickering

Video Showcasing the problem
Note: it may also be some kind of KDE problem, because not all flickers showed up in the OBS recording attached, for example:

  • the flickering starts at 00:07 in the video
  • the flickering stops at 00:12 in the video, but still visibly happened (obs did not see that)
  • the flickering stops at 00:17 in the video for me outside of what the recording saw

the mentioned issue seems to me like it tracks multiple things and not the flickering as its main point, so would keep this issue open

PS: flickering still happens in May 27 2023, at 20:15:25 (beta)
