Bug Description
Sometimes after I change the used account to the not pirivleged user account and clik to side menu bar the (Xorg/Gnome) screen randomly start turn black and back to normal while i move the mouse, somtimes just stay black but if there is an opened window (used to be nautilus or FireFox) and is move over the mause cursor over its is start partially show the right content.
Paralelly the side menu turn upside down randomly.
I never experienced this with root account and find that if I lock the screen and relese it is used to solve the problem for a while.
The problem raised after upgrade Ubuntu from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS
The computer is a desktop so there no accelerometer giroscope.
The screen is a 4K montior with 3840×2160 resolution and work on 29,97 Hz
The graphics card is an ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

This sounds like another Nvidia issue related to:
https:/ /www.khronos. org/registry/ OpenGL/ extensions/ NV/NV_robustnes s_video_ memory_ purge.txt
which mentions "VT switches", so that can include user switching.
There is no workaround right now, other than to avoid the Nvidia driver, or to avoid user switching and suspend/resume etc :(
