Pressing mod+f once or several times going back and forth, background wallpaper is distorted viewing through urxvt.
Also at times I see slight white artifacts appearing around the edges of the thin blue border running aound the window that will completly turn white with compton, and with compton turned off, it will only appear as white in a few areas, not the entire border, just small sections of white.
I've have created three videos that show the wallpaper distortion. The last video, mod+f_3.m4v shows the white artificats around the entire border edge with compton. I was not able to take a video with compton turned off showing just small areas of white around the border, I'm not always able to reproduce this, it just appears for some reason on occassion.
Sorry made a mistake before. I created the first two videos to show the wallpaper distortion, and the last video to show the white appearing around the edge.
Notice in mod+f_1 the logo appears in all corners and in the second video you can see the wallpaper torn into different segements/sections.
Depending on the wallpaper there is always some sort of tearing going on.
Note that the usage of compton or any other compositor is not supported with i3.
As for the other distortion: I’ve only ever noticed them with the nvidia driver. With any other driver, they don’t appear. So far, all evidence points towards a bug in the nvidia driver. In case you have contrary evidence, feel free to reopen, but we can’t realistically do something about problems related to closed source software.
I said the words; 'with compton' and no menton of it before, meaning for the first two videos I was not using compton, I even mention this above the videos;
Without compton the wallpaper distortion
With compton white artificat around border edge
Anyhow...
I've personally never used a tiling WM till now, so I've never opened and maiximized and minimized a terminal this fast till now, so I went back and tried to do the same in Openbox and I noticed too in Openbox the wallpaper being torn.
But as I also mentioned, without compton I will see slight white artifacts appearing on the borders edge, meaning the default blue color of the border, running around the sides and bottom will have flashes of white appear in it, not sure this is also caused by Nvidia...

Thank you all very much for your time and help with these issues, keep up the great work!
