Description:
Upgrading to GTK3 3.22, along with the smaller point updates including 3.22.1+8+ge11df6c-2 ) is causing major glitchiness in multiple applications including Firefox and Libreoffice just to name a few. There are individual bug reports out for some of these applications like LibreOffice (see: Brief Examples: 1. In Libreoffice, even typing in a simple word-processing document on a high-end quad core desktop system can cause the interface to temporarily freeze up like how word processors were sometimes slow back in the '80s. On top of that, the menus are extremely slow to open. 2. In Firefox, many moderately complex websites like Youtube can't even scroll smoothly anymore. Additional info: Any version of GTK3 3.22 appears to cause this. I'm running KDE Plasma desktop 5.8 but I've seen the bugs under other environments too. Steps to reproduce: Install GTK 3.22 and run a program that depends upon it. Work-around: Downgrade to GTX 3.20.9-1 and everything goes back to working fine. |

As for firefox, I can't reproduce your issues. I don't know what theme you're using but default Adwaita is fine.
