[SOLVED] light temporary tearing with wayland (with screenshots)

Screenshots:

Problem:

Some applicatios, like terminal and chromium, gets temporary tearing, though not very often.
Worse, Chromium 132/133 crashes ocasionally, say about 3 times a day.
Chromium never crashes before.

Versions:

• linux 6.13.2

• plasma 6.3

• kwayland 6.3.0

• egl-wayland 4:1.1.17

• xorg-xwayland 24.1.5

• nvidia-open-dkms 570.86.16-2

Harewares:

Video Adapters: AMD Radeon 780M & nVidia 4070 mobile

Possible Causes:

The problem appears recently, both for plasma 6.2 and 6.3, some possible causes as as below:

• The command below has been run (I can't remeber what packages have been removed by it.)

  pacman -Qqd | pacman -Rsu --print -

• amd-ucode & firmwares are upgragded

• nvidia driver are updated

Question:

How to fix the tearing?

It's like a general problem, not chromium specific.
After some updates, it doesn't appear now.
