Glitches in dropdown history and other dropdown elements under openSUSE Leap 42.3 with amdgpu-pro driver
Hello,
Sometimes I have strange graphic glitches in Firefox under openSUSE Leap 42.3. This type of corruptions only appears in Firefox. In other applications and in Windows 10 (Dual boot configuration with GRUB) currently I don't noticed them.
Disabling "Hardware Acceleration" and refresh Firefox (new profile) didn't solve this issue.
Card: Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX580 8GB Limited Edition Driver: amdgpu-pro_17.40-492261 (and previous versions)
The RX580 is a replacement card already. Had a RX480 before with the same issue. For this reason I don't think that I have a faulty graphic card (GPU or Video-RAM).

Have you tried using the open-source driver instead of the proprietary one?
Thanks for the quick response!
Yes.
amdgpu (openSUSE Leaps 42.3 uses a backported version from kernel 4.8): There are also glitches/corruptions in KDE. When resizing a window as example.
radeon: No visible issues with this (old) driver. But I have only tested the driver for a few hours (< 24h).
But I would like to use the proprietary one for openCL support.
Not sure if this was a issue for Linux users however the Firefox 57.0.1 had a fix for some AMD cards on Windows. https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/57.0.1/releasenotes/
Thanks for this information!
I have read the bug report. I don't have issues when playing videos. But I will try the new version of Firefox. Maybe it fix also my problem.
