GPU? Driver version? Distro? Kernel Version? There is not much we can do without any information...
Sorry. Nvidia T106, drv. ver. latest. Kernel 6.7.6-arch1-1 Arch Linux x86_64 Resolution: 1980x1080 DE: Plasma 5.93.0 WM: kwin Theme: [Plasma], Breeze [GTK2/3] Icons: breeze-dark [Plasma], breeze [GTK2/ Terminal: konsole RAM 32GB
Sorry again resolution: 1920x1080
Will record screen and attach here later, but for now OBS says no device found. nvidia driver installed with pacman, as arch wiki advises
I used to have xfce4 now installed fresh arch from scratch with formating system partition did not install any of xorg packages, as I'm iterested only in wayland and installed plasma 6 RC... to try and report BUT my home partition was not wiped and I had kde 5.27 before, so there might be some issues there, I would like to try plasma installed from scratch but I don't know how to remove everything related to kde from my home partition which has only one user - myself maybe you can advise where I can get the full list of everything to remove from my home partition that I can try to install fresh plasma from very scratch, try and see if there are any issuses. thanx

Which version is that? And I guess you are using the proprietary drivers?

Sounds good. Also please to test in a clean user account as requested. And a clean install not on top of XFCE might also be advised.
I re-installed arch and put nvidia 545, the same issue. Also need to say that this happens with nvidia only. On my laptop I have intel gpu Kaby lake with vaapi drivers and hw accel. enabled, and everything works fine. So it looks like it's nvidia with wayland creates problems.
Yeah, there's no chance this isn't an NVIDIA driver bug, unfortunately. 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!
