Problem latest update + BSPWM [solved, downgrading XORG]

Hi,

Currently, I'm facing an issue with the latest update and the BSPWM window manager:
-> moving windows to my second monitor (screen no 6) causes my machine to put be back the login screen and additionally high CPU load.

So far, I have experienced it mainly with applications like browsers, etc. the terminal seems to be ok.

Kernel: 5.12.15-arch1-1
WM: bspwm 0.9.10
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 90.0, Google Chrome 91.0.4472.164

Any clue about that?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
D

[solved] by downgrading xorg

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-1.20.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-common-1.20.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Thank @Seth, I'll presumably be the easiest solution for now.

Best,
Dennis
