Extended Smart Hide Blinking

The laptop (DELL XPS 9350) is installed with fedora 37 gnome43. When using the intelligent hide of the extension, the problem will occur: the hide is normal when the software is windowed, and the mouse pressure can normally unhide and display normally, but after the software is maximized, the mouse slides back and forth and flickers (switch back and forth between hide and display). The above problems occur in the plug-in: dash to dock and hide top bar

Can you please make a inxi -Fzx and paste it here as pre-formatted </> text.
So we can assist better.

Is your system up to date? Have you installed all the necessary firmware?

  1. Same problem with Wayland? Looks like you use X11.

  2. Can you please check if you get the same error with deactivated “hide top bar” extension?

  1. Wayland is used now
  2. Plug-ins can work normally for software (such as edge) (intelligent hiding), but after the software uses full-screen maximization, the two intelligent hidden plug-ins will have the same problem, so it is ruled out that the problem is a single plug-in.
  3. It is suspected that it is a system-driven problem. Is there a solution?
    thank

I can not reproduce … use same dash to dock and hide top bar.
Do you have a other frequency you can test with your display resolution (1920x1080)?

Must be something with your GPU?!

I suspect the GPU driver is the same as you, but I don’t know how to reinstall or update the driver.

no mine is Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel

You use a kernel driver as I do. So if your firmware is up to date you should get recognized the right GPU.

Try this in terminal:

sudo fwupdmgr update

I really want to find the problem, but there is still no solution: I try to use the screen recording function to record this problem. During the screen recording process, the software is still flashing after maximizing, but the screen recording result is really normal. I understand that it may be a laptop display problem? Or refresh rate

Yes that’s why i asked you. Did you check if you have a alternative refresh rate in the display settings?

I tried, but I couldn’t change it in my notebook refresh. It can only be maintained at 59.93Hz

I found the reason. The hide top bar extension is the culprit. After I tried to disable this extension, the dash to dock can be hidden normally and does not flash when the software is maximized. I plan to submit this bug on the website of hide top bar.
