switching tabs leaves contents of another one visible

[anaderi]

Hi!
as I open the second tab and switch to it, it still displays contents of the 1st one.

after I minimize/open window again, everything is fine

OS: mac os X (el capitan)
Atom: 1.13.0-dev-11f8d9e

@anaderi yeah, you need to start atom with the --disable-gpu flag

[anaderi]

actually I have such 'ghosts' even with --disable-gpu:

it might not be visible very well, since I've dimmed colors at stylesheet, but it is clearly there (see the line in the left window starting by docker_env.sh.

[transcranial]

ah, sorry! I just saw that you're on 1.13.0-dev. I haven't tested that yet. Maybe it has something to do with the removal of the shadow dom? Let me know if you have any ideas.

Similarly I noticed hyper.js was leaving ghost remnants of previous text when I tried to just simply adjust the background-color to be more transparent. Then I found hyper-transparent that fixes it. I wonder if that solution could work here as well.

UPDATE: nevermind, just noticed hyper-transparency has the ghost text problem too. :(

plagued by this too on my mac. -_- - I hot key move the atom window (amethyst) with another and it clears out the ghost, but expect it to return, just a work around.

Yeah, I've had the same issue in macOS, while it works perfectly in ubuntu. I wonder if this would solve it in macOS: electron/electron#8847

@transcranial, dude I love this repo. I found something that works when the atom window is in focus, no burn in on Mac. https://github.com/iamleet/atom-transparency/tree/issue5_burn_in_text
Can anyone verify?

Can confirm. The solution posted by iamleet works on 1.25-dev, Sierra 10.13. Just add the following CSS:

atom-pane, atom-panel, atom-notification { background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) !important; -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */ backface-visibility: hidden; }

Then turn off the "background-tips" package and restart atom.

@BioXD Thanks for confirming, going to submit a pr for the readme

Heads up - running linux with compton compositor. Using the --disable-gpu flag as well makes transparency not work whatsoever. Running it with just --enable-transparent-visuals flag works perfectly.
