Operating system: Kubuntu 18.10, 4.18.0-20-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 6 18:45:52 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Graphics card: NVIDIA Corporation GP106 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB] (rev a1)

When an environment texture is used, LookDev often starts with the environment texture apparently "whitened"; it's as if all pixel values are bumped up a bit. This disappears when the viewport is rotated.

remove profile directory, start blender
go to "world" tab, click the small circle button next to "Color", choose Environment Texture
click "Open image." button, navigate to /2.80/datafiles/sutdiolights/world/night.exr
change to LookDev shading
use drop-down menu next to shading buttons to change display settings, enable "Scene World"
observe that the world is whitish/grey
use MMB to rotate viewport
observe that the world is immediately shown correctly when movement happens

This seems to happen the first time the world texture is shown, but in my experience it happens other times as well (not sure what triggers it.) It can be annoying when changing in to LookDev because it requires "jiggling" the view to get it to display properly.

I can confirm that problem with the build 2.80.71

This seems like a more general problem than just with the environment. I can basically repro the problem whenever Eevee needs to recompile its shaders due to a change in the node graph.

The shader recompile happens correctly but the viewport only "half" refreshes, leaving a whitish/whashed-out image in the viewport.

This is most easily seen when using Node Wrangler and using its quick view functionality to view each node individually. As you view each node for the first time the viewport is left in the half-finished state. Upon viewing them again things work correctly.

It also happens when opening the default scene and clicking the Shading workspace for the first time.

I can't seem to reproduce this on my end.

Is this still and issue with the latest beta?

Thanks -- yes, just confirmed it with d93a7290e5.

Yes, still repros here too on 04c54dec44

Here's a gif showing the issue (occurs on both my AMD and nVidia):

And here's a sample .blend:

I can reproduce this around 15% of the time I swap surface output in that file.
