Hello Ilia,

I had found a bug report (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378)
dealing with a similar issue, and there you suggested to try that option
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378#c46), and it seemingly
solved the issue, so I gave it a try, but removed it after I noticed that it
had no effect at all.

Ok, thanks for clarification. Copy acceleration sounds good, is there any
downside?

I will uninstall that package and report back.

BTW: No problems with 5.4.13 so far.
