--- Comment #15 from Grzegorz Junka <list1@gjunka.com> ---
I can confirm problems with KDE5 Plasma on Radeon Vega 64 using amdgpu driv=
er
(12-RELEASE and generic kernel).

The issue isn't exactly as described here, but the solution proposed in the
preceding much alleviated the issue.

In my case the issue was lack of responsiveness from all UI elements. For
example, when opening menu it looked as if the menu froze for a split of a
second then, redraw part of it, then froze again, then redraw, etc.

When watching Youtube videos on Firefox the video would play for a few seco=
nds,
they stop for 1 second or so, then play again, then stop, and so on.

When moving windows around quickly they would froze in place then move again
(dragging would probably be a good description).

I disabled the compositor as suggested in the comment and now the UI is much
much more responsive. Still not as responsive as when using NVidia driver (I
have another system with NVidia card so can compare) but I would assume it
could be due to the immature amdgpu driver. For example, the video on Youtu=
be
may still freeze but for much shorter (split of a second) much less often (=
say
after 20 seconds of playing).
