            Bug ID: 355019
           Summary: "Suspend desktop effects for full screen windows"
                    setting seems to also suspend OpenGL tearing
                    prevention/vsync settings
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

I have been battling with major tearing issues in VLC for the last week.. I
found many suggestions that worked for people, but none worked for me.  I ended
up making a discovery ..

I had the "Suspend desktop effects for full screen windows" option selected in
the Desktop Effects settings.  Disabling this is what fixed my tearing
problems.  It seems that suspending the desktop effects also suspends any
tearing prevention/vsync settings you have configured on the same settings
window.  I can't imagine this being intended behavior as vsync isn't a desktop
effect.  





Reproducible: Always




Please excuse the uncategorized, unversioned bug report.. I'm having issues
with the bug tracker.  I am on 4.14.2 and that option is not available to
select under KDE>General.  I believe this is related to Kwin but I was not able
to select the proper version on the bug tracker there either.. I have 4.11.14,
but only 5.x versions are available to choose from.  

OS is Mint 17.2
