Random artefacts on screen

Hi !

I'm experiencing a little problem on my PCs (the 3 are affected)

randomly, it seems that the X server forgets to "disalloc" a part of the screen, and thus doesn't draw the right thing on it...

here a little screenshot to describe the problem :

in that case, it is a notification that hasn't been properly cleaned, but it also happens with menus, this will disappear the next time a notification will be shown (or when the exact same menu will be opened) but it will stay on top of normal windows, witch is ugly and problematic when there is and interesting info or button under...

this bug appears rarely (I'd say once a day approximately)

any idea where it can come from ?

thanks, and happy new year !

edit : oops maybe this should be in the Desktop Environments section ...
