Got some black stripes when I use nvim

[woshichuanqilz]

Got some black strip when I use nvim(colorscheme tokyo-night) in alacritty.
It doesn't always comes out. I don't know what is the reason it comes out.
The reason why I think it is a alacritty issue is that I use konsole sometimes.
But I never see the same issue in konsole.

Too long too show it. I think not related to this with my issue here

Are those black blocks in spots where you should have glyphs, or in spots where there would be empty background usually?

Always should be blank no any char there.

[woshichuanqilz]

At start

I move my cursor to right and the whole text in the window moved, but the black striped not moved.

[chrisduerr]

Can you reproduce this on Wayland or is it only an X11 issue?

[woshichuanqilz]

only on X11. I don't have Wayland for now. Maybe Wayland will solve it I will try it next time I reinstall my os.

[chrisduerr]

Can you try the latest master and setting renderer to gles2_pure (https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/alacritty.yml#L895)?

[woshichuanqilz]

Can you try the latest master and setting renderer to gles2_pure (https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/alacritty.yml#L895)?

Ok I already change to

debug:
  # Renderer override.
  #   - glsl3
  #   - gles2
  #   - gles2_pure
  renderer: gles2_pure

I will try sometime and see if it happens

[woshichuanqilz]

Still have it. I found it is not black stripes they are transparency block. I can see the wallpaper through them. But not directly to the wallpaper. Actually I see the background of terminal.

I change the size of the window they disappear. But you can see the style of my terminal and wallpaper by this image.

[kchibisov]

Do you have window.opacity setup in your terminal? From what I can see you do? Might something in your editor is using default background color for some elements and it end up like that.

I'd assume that with alacritty --config-file=/dev/null it won't happen.

Thank you
Yes I set the opacity. Ok I will let it go. Since this wont effect my work.

Thanks again.

I have the same problem here.
This is my config,i don't have any opacity settings:

font:
  size: 18
colors:
  primary:
    background: "#161616"
    foreground: "#ffffff"
  search:
    matches:
      foreground: CellBackground
      background: "#ee5396"
    footer_bar:
      background: "#262626"
      foreground: "#ffffff"
  normal:
    black: "#262626"
    magenta: "#ff7eb6"
    green: "#42be65"
    yellow: "#ffe97b"
    blue: "#33b1ff"
    red: "#ee5396"
    cyan: "#3ddbd9"
    white: "#dde1e6"
  bright:
    black: "#393939"
    magenta: "#ff7eb6"
    green: "#42be65"
    yellow: "#ffe97b"
    blue: "#33b1ff"
    red: "#ee5396"
    cyan: "#3ddbd9"
    white: "#ffffff"

After commenting out all my config,the problem still exists.
alacritty --config-file=/dev/null has no problem btw.

[iujakchu]

It's weired that the problem has gone after relaunching alacritty.
