SUMMARY This has happened 3 times recently, when I open a new application, the window or background around it start to go into rapid flickering. I once has my 2nd monitor entire desktop go into a flickering, it will remain like this until you click on the desktop or move the window. I don't know what is causing this. Funny enough when I open "Info Center" it just happened now. OK it seems on openSUSE TW I can reproduce this with the following steps. 1. Open a few windows 1. Press ALT+SPACE, type, "info" to open Info Center. Flickering starts immediately! I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the latest NVidia RTX 3080 driver? Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211021 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.11-2-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor Memory: 62.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080/PCIe/SSE2
I rebooted the system and the steps outlined below no longer reproduce the flickering behaviour.
