Seems like a GPU glitch. What GPU are you using? And are you using the Wayland or X11 session?

Is this a regression, or has it always happened on your system?

Likely a graphics driver regression.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #8) > Likely a graphics driver regression. what is the fix for my graphics driver problem for my hardware: i915 Intel GFX Driver? will this issue be fixed in the upcoming drivers update? I am kind of stuck with this situation since long time. Hope the drivers get updates soon... Hoping for the best solution for this issue. Thanks & Regards, Gourab

Just had exact same problem using Gentoo Linux on Intel Atom N570 with kernel 6.1.57 and this video: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a011] (rev 02) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller [1025:0590] Kernel driver in use: i915 Using KDE 5.27.8 on X11 Qt 5.15.11 mesa 23.1.8 xf86-video-intel 2.99.917_p20230201 Workaround: 1. Using kcmshell5 kcm_qtquicksettings switched renderer to software mode. 2. Turned off video acceleration in other apps where possible (this helped with Steam client) Red rectangle backgrounds is gone. So is acceleration.
