Likely a GPU driver issue of some kind.
Comment 5 Sven Grewe 2025-04-06 21:14:09 UTC 
Probably and I can't narrow this further down at the moment if it's e.g. exclusive to VGA or not. I didn't saw this happen on Debian 13 with newer kernel and drivers though. It also doesn't seem to matter which monitor size or format it directly has.

If this is still happening in Plasma 6.4.2, with an updated kernel, it's likely an issue with the AMD Mesa drivers.

Please read https://docs.mesa3d.org/bugs.html and submit a bug report for the Mesa developers. Feel free to link it to this report.

Thanks!

This doesn't seem to happen any more with the new KDE Neon LiveCD release. So pretty likely a driver fix with the newer ISO.
