It is less reproducible than I initially thought. There may need to be some memory pressure or some extended use of the session for the issue to repro. I'll keep trying to figure out a reliable method. Once the system is in a bad place, it repros reliably.

I have a photo I can share of it, though I had to anonymize it.

For anyone who was experiencing this issue in the past, did the 555 driver series fix it?

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2024-11-12 17:44:00 UTC

Ping. Anyone still experiencing this with the 555 driver series or later?
