RetroArch Flickering on Borders: A Developer's Perspective

As RetroArch developers, we've encountered a peculiar issue when using the D3D12 graphics backend with an onscreen overlay and Bluetooth controller connected. The problem manifests as a large 'tick' icon followed by a full-screen keyboard layout image that briefly flashes on screen when loading up any content with any libretro core.

This issue does not occur when using alternative graphics APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan, nor when the onscreen overlay is disabled or the Bluetooth controller is disconnected during launch. Furthermore, it only affects D3D10, D3D11, and D3D12 graphics backends combined with an onscreen overlay and a connected controller.

As this issue specifically relates to RetroArch bugs, we're focusing on identifying the root cause and implementing a solution. If you're experiencing similar issues or have any insights into resolving this problem, please contribute to the discussion by filing a bug report here.
