Thanks for the bug report. We need a little more information so we can look into this.

1. What graphics card does your system have? If it's NVIDIA, do you have the proprietary or open source drivers installed?
2. Please attach a screen recording directly to this report. The link tells me the video is no longer available.
3. Please provide the output of the following, run in a terminal:

kscreen-doctor -o

Thanks.
