Description Justin Wayland 2024-05-28 03:17:13 UTC
Created attachment 169901 [details]
Look towards the center of the panel, where you can see the pixels leftover from open and closed apps.

SUMMARY
As I use the icons only task manager in Plasma on Wayland, lines of pixels slowly form on the bottom row of the display corresponding to changes in the opening and closing of apps, as seen in the attachment, even if the taskbar is on top of the screen. These pixels will stay on the display, even if you fullscreen something else like a video. They only go away when you log out of your session.

I am on a Framework 16, using the iGPU, if the amdgpu driver turns out to be the problem.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login. The bottom part of the plasma screen should look fine.
2. Continue to use the desktop, frequently opening and closing applications.

OBSERVED RESULT
Lines of pixels forms on the bottom part of the screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
Lines of pixels should not form on the bottom part of the screen

Are you using some fractional display scale?

Yes. I didn't know this at the time, but this bug is probably a duplicate of #483612. Closing this bug report.
