Hello Ichiroh,

Definitely the problem occurrence depends on depth, (i.e. pixel size) settings. Actually such behaviour looks quite expected because the current implementation of XRSurfaceData.getSurfaceType() always returns INT (32-bit) surface type which most likely won't work properly for the configuration where pixel size is 16. I think we can use X11SurfaceData.getSurfaceType() as a fallback option inside XRender if the depth is 16 or less. I’ll try to implement such approach.

Regarding the usage of XVNC4 with depth 32. I didn’t use such configuration. Based on your description I suspect the problem you observed, (i.e. infinity loop) and 8214109 are different. 8214109 is reproducible on XVNC4 with depth 16. The detailed steps to replicate the issue are provided in the bug report. Possible fix and related discussion are located at http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/awt-dev/2019-January/014949.html <http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/awt-dev/2019-January/014949.html>
I believe it will make sense to file a new bug for infinity loop issue you observed.

Thanks,
Dmitry

XVFB/X11VNC configuration (where the problem takes place) uses 16 bpp and at the same time I cannot reproduce the issue on X11VNC with 32 bpp. In other words the issue depends on pixel size used by the configuration: it takes place if the pixel size is 16 and does not happen if the pixel size is 24. I am not an expert in XRender but the following seems correct: current implementation of XRSurfaceData.getSurfaceType() always returns INT (32-bit) surface type which might not work properly for the configuration where pixel size is 16.
>>>>>> Also the problem is not reproducible on XVNC4 (default depth value is 16) because XRender pipeline cannot be enabled there for some reasons. That may explain why the issue is  not observed on other XVNC configurations. The root cause of XRender pipeline failure for XVNC4 is currently unclear but I think it is out of scope for this bug.

Before that fix getSurfaceType() was not overridden in XRGraphicsConfig and surface type from X11GraphicsConfig/X11SurfaceData, (i.e. X11SurfaceType) was used for XRWindowSurfaceData and XRPixmapSurfaceData. If I got it right JDK-8204931was intended for fixing problems with XRPixmapSurfaceData and it solved them by introducing surface type with PixelConverter in XRSurfaceData and overriding getSurfaceType() in XRGraphicsConfig. These changes are correct for XRPixmapSurfaceData but they accidentally broke XRWindowSurfaceData and caused this problem.
