Bug Description

I'm not sure, if it is not a bug of certain Wayland applications.

Under Ubuntu 20.04, Gnome 3.36, some Wayland-native applications, namely Audacity(2.3.3) and Firefox (76.0), does not redraw themselves unless I change their size, or switch to another window or overview. For example, audacity does not redraw current position marker, and I need to click with a mouse, or resize the window to see it. Firefox sometimes just freeze, until I click or until I resize its window, or I switch to overview.

What kind of trace shoud I perform to obtain more information?

Please check that you do not have any nonstandard extensions enabled. You can do that by running:

  gnome-shell-extension-prefs

Yes, I disabled all extensions to ensure that is is not an extension problem.

OK. Next I suggest waiting until the mutter 3.36.2 update is released. Then if the problem still occurs it should be reported upstream.
