Description Buovjaga 2015-10-07 05:29:36 UTC 
Pretty much the same as bug 94726, but only on 5.1. 5.0.2 is fine with OpenGL enabled.

Some icons have black background or other glitches, most visible when using Breeze.
Sluggish redraw performance.
Tooltips, dialogs and menus flash black before rendering. Sidebar doesn't flash black.

I reproduce the "dialogs flash black before rendering" with OpenGL enabled in 5.0.2 under Fedora 22 (64-bit). The rest is not repro here.

Beluga reports the flashing is gone - "in the start center with ogl, the menus don't flash black, but they do flash blank/grey ie. there is a lag".

Perhaps good to file the lagging as a separate issue; we try to render the window completely before showing it at idle; but perhaps there is some prioritisation issue; I don't see a significant lag here though.

Thanks !

We should not flash black anymore; perhaps a white background; Beluga reports:
