graphics got issues after updating.

my problem is a bit vague so bear with me.

when I updated my packages almost 10 days ago it seems that kde graphic has regressed.

I have plasma (on xorg) installed and after that updated sometimes the window manager action like minimizing and closing windows seems kind of slower.

a definite symptom is when I minimize and maximize a from task manager repeatedly , the  titlebar ( that is a solid dark gray color) get graphic irregularities in it like chess pattern black and white instead of solid color. this just happens in a split of a second and is not permanent
this also happens when I mouse the mouse over titlebar buttons .

I dont know how to describe it better.

this is on my laptop with intel graphic card and cpu.

Re: graphics got issues after updating.

What got upgraded exactly? Post your pacman.log, likely a kernel regression, are you using any nonstandard module options for i915? Which xorg DDX are you using? If you have xf86-video-intel installed, it has known issues with KDE and isn't really necessary anymore, so you could try removing that.

Re: graphics got issues after updating.

no I dont have xf86-video-intel  installed.
actually I tried it with that installed to see if that helped but it didnt.

I dont remember exactly what was upgraded .
"Which xorg DDX are you using?" I dont exactly know what is that but I have mesa installed.
this is the kernel parameters "quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor ipv6.disable=1"

I can attach my pacman.log here ?
should I do that? is it safe? or should I just attach the last month log?

my laptop has both intel and nvidia but nvidia is off with the help of bbswitch and this issue seems not to be nvidia related.

You can post it here *in code tags!* or use some pastebin service...
