I just installed Manjaro, and I’m having a really weird issue. I’m on a laptop, so I can use either a pair of built in mouse-click buttons or tapping the touchpad to click, right?
Well, for some reason, anytime I click on an actionable item (“next”, “download”, etc) the screen just sits there and nothing happens until I move the mouse cursor, and then the screen jumps forward, weeping angel style.
The best example I have of this is that I queued up steam to download a bunch of stuff, left it running in the background, and when I came back to it, it looked like it hadn’t been downloading at all. As soon as I moved my mouse, however, the screen updated, and all of them had been downloaded. It even gave me the notifications all back to back. This happens with a bunch of smaller stuff too though, If I drag a file from one file manager window to the other, for example, it’ll look like I’m still “holding” the file until I move the mouse again, and then suddenly the file transfer starts.
With that one though, the file transfer appears to start when the screen updates, rather than having been running in the background the entire time. What makes this even more annoying is that it isn’t consistent. Sometimes it won’t update the screen, sometimes it will. I’ve scoured the settings menus and this forum and found nothing, so any advice y’all can give would be appreciated, because this is driving me insane.
