Bug with apparently Elecyton applications
Electron applications, like VScode or Spotify show the strange behavior of capturing the applications in its background like in the image bellow.

The system is fully updated and I use GNOME as a desktop environment. Did someone ever found the same problem? What can I do to try and solve it? Thank you!

Re: Bug with apparently Elecyton applications
Looks more like a bug in the compositor - try outside gnome (eg. openbox) and then provide system details (display server, hardware, drivers)

Re: Bug with apparently Elecyton applications
It only happens with electron apps. It doesn't happen with the terminal or with Firefox. Sorry for the image btw. I dual boot and everything works fine with windows. I am using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers version 530.41.03.
I have an I7-7700, RTX-3060ti 32 GB dual channel ram running at 2400 MHz. The modules are rated at 3200 MHz (I am in the process of upgrading my PC). For display server I am using Xorg.

It works fine in openbox. Nothing is weird.

Re: Bug with apparently Elecyton applications
Make sure no chromium process is running and start "chromium --disable-gpu", still a problem?

Re: Bug with apparently Elecyton applications
Chromium doesn't have the same problem as spotify and vscode. But when I do that and them open spotify/vscode nothing changes. Furthermore, I also noticed that NVIDIA X Server settings has the same problem.

Re: Bug with apparently Elecyton applications
Do you run gnome on wayland?
Is it also a problem w/ gnome on xorg?
