Probably NVIDIA related I tried to reproduce this issue by entering the overview with the default keybind Meta+W and moving the cursor around to the various window tiles. The issue doesn't happen on my machine. Here's my system information: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.11.6-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 60.9 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: XPS 8900 This is happening on my system, too (it also affects the Desktop Grid, since that's part of the Overview now). My system has an RTX 4090, so since Alex couldn't recreate it with his AMD graphics card, I'd concur with Nate that it's likely to be NVIDIA-specific. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.11.6-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X 8-Core Processor Memory: 94.2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090/PCIe/SSE2 Exactly the same on EndeavourOS, for quite some time, started around september i think. Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 Kernel Version: 6.6.65-1-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 40 × Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2660 v3 @ 2.60GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Quadro K2200/PCIe/SSE2 *** Bug 497902 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** There's a newer report of this, with more debug information. I'm going to merge this report into that one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 499902 *** |
