Distortion Problem with mesa 22.0

After mesa upgrade to 22.0 I 've problem with strange beahviours.

Notably when using Firefox when there are as example tooltips, some horizhontal lines and distortion on the characters will appear.

Same when using some editors, blinking cursor is drawn in sa strange way.

Downgrading to mesa 21.3 solved the problem.

Well yeah pretty clearly a mesa bug in your case. A 22.0.1 release just got pushed to testing so you could try and see if that fixes your issue. If not, you should report this to upstream.

Thanks, If nothing will break I will wait until it is in not in testing anymore.

No problem to stick with an "old " Mesa, as my machine is some years old, so no new functionality are needed by me.

22.0.1 is much more stable but some weird bug remains, when i launch a Vulkan game the desktop session sorry, actually Xorg crashes.
Wondering what did they even change with it...

FYI you only need to downgrade the main mesa package and in the case of amd gpu

vulkan-radeon, xf86-video-amdgpu, and lib32-vulkan-radeon in case you have 32bit on.

i did only these to version 21.3.7-2

Restart and it'll work fine.

I could confirm that even with 22.0.1-3 installed this morning problems are present.


Tearing off of "tooltips" and "blinking cursor" on some application are solved but now I have these strange behaviour with FreeCAD (miniconda install).

A Black square when the mouse is not on one of the Navicube faces or corners.

A "normal visualization" when the mouse is over elements explained above.

I will revert to 21.37.2 again.
