Graphical artefacts when clicking on 'Main Menu' in GNOME 47 application (corrected by GSK_RENDERER=gl)
Hello,
Clicking on 'Main Menu' in a GNOME 47 (Flatpak) application results in graphical artefacts (e.g. flickering and resizing) in the 'pop-up' menu.
Forcing GSK_RENDERER=gl
corrects the behaviour.
Steps to reproduce
- Open GNOME 47 application (tested with Amberol and Ptyxis)
- Click on 'Main Menu' hamburger
Current behaviour
Graphical artefacts in 'pop-up' menu (e.g. flickering and resizing)
Expected outcome
No graphical artefacts (as with GSK_RENDERER=gl
)
