SUMMARY
When I play a game, with Night Light enabled, I occasionally get graphical corruptions across my screen for a single frame at a time. I've confirmed this by when Night Light enables automatically, I start seeing the corruption but if I manually turn it off, the corruptions stop entirely.

Here's the bug report I reported to MESA, as I initially thought it was a general MESA bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/10895

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch a game through Proton/Wine
2. Wait until corruption happens

OBSERVED RESULT
Corrupted "snow"-like effect occurs occasionally, for a single frame.

EXPECTED RESULT
No graphical corruptions when playing games with Night Light enabled.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.8.2-zen2-1-zen (64-bit)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 6.0.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.3
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have a 165hz monitor so recording this issue is very difficult, and I'm not sure if it has something to do with high refresh rates/frame rates.
