> Does using a Wayland session avoid the bug?

Yes, I see no tearing in Totem (or Chrome) when using Wayland. (Note: after uninstalling the Nvidia drivers (`apt purge nvidia-driver-410 && apt autoremove --purge`), I have to boot with `nouveau.modeset=0`, otherwise boot hangs at Plymouth after entering my disk encryption password.)

In Wayland, xrandr prints the following:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
XWAYLAND0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 190mm
   1920x1080 59.96*+

> Also, what shell are you using?

If you mean shell-as-in-graphical, and I understand correctly what that means, then I'm using i3wm. If you mean shell-as-in-CLI, then bash.
