Created attachment 163085 [details] Today's screenshot. Top line affected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Hover over any of the taskbar icons (Application Launcher, clock, tray icons, running application etc) 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Some of the tooltip text is distorted as in screenshot1. It is always the text on the first row, in the bigger font that is affected. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.27 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-36-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 2 × Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E6300 @ 2.80GHz Memory: 3.8 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NV96 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A few weeks I was getting the same kind of distortion in tooltips with both Wayland and X11 but all fonts were affected. See additional screenshots 2-4. Somehow the problem is now reduced to the top line text.

This is unfortunately an NVIDIA graphics driver bug. Please report this issue to the NVIDIA folks, either by sending an email to linux-bugs@nvidia.com or making a post at https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/gpu-graphics/linux. It would be helpful to the NVIDIA developers if you could run nvidia-bug-report.sh and attach the resulting file in your report. Thanks!
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) > Please report this issue to the NVIDIA folks I would but I very much doubt anyone will want to fix a bug in 14 years old hardware. They will probably say I can get a complete more modern system for 50€ on ebay. Thanks anyway.
You're probably right! 😅
