> How is this not a duplicate meta tracker (see bug 93529)

That meta tracker is focused on stuff in 5.0 and above, while the bugs here are focused on all opengl bugs that were introduced/reported since the fork.

I have been experiencing flickering transitions for a while in my PC, but today I had an important insight as to what causes it. In summary, it happens only with the VCL-Gtk version of LibreOffice. The video below shows the flickering transition bug happening on my PC.

https://youtu.be/ARcPKZhW2lM

The video was made using Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome 3.36), thus with VCL-Gtk.

I had to format my PC and installed KDE Neon. After that I installed LibreOffice and took the opportunity to test if the transition bug was still there. And indeed it was still there... but then I noticed that the LibreOffice version installed was the VCL-Gtk one, even though I was on a KDE desktop environment.

Then what I did was uninstall LibreOffice and reinstall it using the libreoffice-kf5 package. After that, I tested the transition bug and it disappeared. All was working fine.

In conclusion, I tested LibreOffice using the same PC, the same DE (KDE Plasma 5.19.4), the same packaging source (the LibreOffice PPA), but I only changed the VCL version from Gtk to Kf5. And it fixed the problem on my computer. Hence, I believe that this may have something to do with the Gtk implementation of LibreOffice.

As a side note, the fade animations work well with VCL-Gtk, whereas transitions are buggy. I'm not sure if this means anything, but I think it is worth mentioning.
