Signal-desktop / wayland / amdgpu

Because of incompatibility with recent sway / wlroots builds I recently switched from amdvlk to vulkan-radeon.

Signal-desktop 7.73 and signal-desktop-beta 7.74 however won't render window content anymore, similar to this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=306078 and just stay black.

Running Signal via

signal-desktop --disable-gpu

makes windows content show up again.

Is anyone else seeing this?

6.16.10-arch1-1
vulkan-radeon 1:25.2.4-1
mesa 1:25.2.4-1
signal-desktop 7.73.0-1
AMD Ryzen 5 7640U w/ Radeon 760M Graphics

Amdvlk has been discontinued, but vulkan-radeon should work (at least here it does with signal 7.73). Maybe you're running it with xwayland?

Hmm. No Xwayland process running. Sway would also mark that window title accordingly.

The usual output only, no errors. Signal seems to work basically - a new message turns the window title to Signal (1). Also the cursor changes when hovered over clickable items.
