Bug summary
With VRR enabled, an application in fullscreen can cause the screen to go black intermittently.
This can be solved by exiting full screen, or disabling VRR.
Seems similar(?) to #2301.
This issue happens inconsistently between monitors. One always having it occur, the other intermittently, etc. I wonder if that is due to my dual GPU setup?
Steps to reproduce
What happened
The screen goes black intermittently.
What did you expect to happen
Screen not to go black intermittently.
Relevant logs, screenshots, screencasts etc.
Thrive 0.6.6
I have noticed that Thrive 0.6.6 is capable of entering full screen without a black screen. But during gameplay, intermittently black, loosely correlated with some in game events (menu / UI swaps etc).
