Wow first reported in 2010. Seems to have gotten a lot worse recently.

Reading the log the fix has been merged into drm-nightly which is of course in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linu … l-nightly/

Many thanks I'd have never found this. Trying to build it now.

I've had this bug since a long time. Glad it will be finally fixed.
