Bug Description

Laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 2 AMD.
Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U
with Radeon (RX Vega 8?) integrated graphics
16 GB RAM

Running Ubuntu 23.10 (GNOME) from a clean install performed October 9, 2023 from a daily-live/current .iso generated on October 4, 2023.

Wayland
Kernel 6.5.0-9-generic

* * * * *

Installed a pre-release build of Ubuntu 23.10 to my ThinkPad the other day, was going through setting up and testing the usual programs.

Installed Steam through apt from the 'mantic' repositories. Installed Proton 8.0 and Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (Sniper) alongside two compatible titles.

Screen corruption (white and grey streaks) present in-game when GNOME UI elements appeared on-screen (e.g., volume, brightness, and keyboard backlight indicators) and omnipresent after closing either game.

Artifacts remain on screen until log-out or reboot. Artifacts were not present beforehand.

Artifacts only appeared in Wayland session; not X11/Xorg.

I previously had been running the same games on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (GNOME, Wayland) and Kubuntu 22.04 LTS (Plasma, X11/Xorg) on this computer without issue (kernel 6.2).

Happy to provide any other information as needed. Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue as well.

I'm using an Asus TUF A15 with an RTX 4050.

Gnome crashes when using multiple screens with Firefox and the file explorer.

One tip is to debug 'the frozen screen' by changing the screen order in Settings > Display.

Best regards,

I just realised it happens when I change from 60hz to 120hz. Doesn't mean in 120hz my monitor crash, just when I make a change in my display, sometimes the desktop makes that strange glitch.
