I notice a significant improvement in performance; however, when moving a window (especially during fast movements), there can be some "mixing" that I cannot reproduce without the fix. Here is a preview: I find it harder to reproduce on a Linux VM (GNOME RDP) than on a Windows with the same configuration. Freerdp3 with this configuration: |

@corentin-soriano I remember seeing those artifacts before. I think what you're seeing is due to a timing-related bug that's present regardless of these changes, and it's just that these changes make that bug more likely to appear. |

@mike-jumper I suspected it was linked to the speed gain but I preferred to have confirmation. |
…forward. This seems to induce latency and possibly negatively affects tracking of client-side processing lag.

These changes address two issues that were affecting the performance of Guacamole after the introduction of
guac_display, particularly RDP:The dirty rects of the last frame were not being updated when the corresponding dirty rects of the pending frame were empty.
It's correct to not flush updated image data if the dirty rects are empty, but the rects tracking the state of the last frame need to be correctly updated to match the state of the pending frame, even if that state is empty. Doing otherwise results in unnecessary updates being transmitted to the client, since
guac_displayincorrectly believes that things were changed in the last frame.Sending a new
syncfor each movement of the mouse can at least cause client-side slowdowns. There may be things that can be improved in the client.Additional changes related to this are part of apache/guacamole-client#1045.
