Thanks for reporting.
Please try commenting out "#sw-opti = true" in your compton configuration (now the default setting for the compton package).
I could change the package so that your custom configuration is replaced and backed up at installation time, but I'm not sure if that is better.
Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately commenting out "#sw-opti = true" does not resolve the issue (only makes the flickering slightly less severe).
I have also tried setting "unredir-if-possible = false;" Were there any other changes to the defaults that you are aware of?
The `--xrender-sync-fence` flag is no longer supported, so that was removed too: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/compton&id=8aeb67870e6fe4423c7f4767f8180e8ddf9004f2
The new package should appear in [community] shortly. The message seems to be gone here. Please test.
I've seen the issue you opened on github and will file a bug there as was requested.
