Hi there, I've got these really odd issue where certain windows will cause random lines like the one in the screenshot appear on my screen. They will often flicker a bit and will dissapear if I hover my mouse over them. The lines will display what is beneath the window itself. These occour quite frequently and are frankly getting quite annoying to deal with.

Is this a known issue with KDE right now? It does not happen while using Gnome on the same machine + screen. If it matters I am running CachyOS.

If there is anythign I can do to fix this then I'd greatly appriciate some pointers!

I got something similar running my monitor at 240hz. It went away when I reduced it to 120Hz

If you are using Wayland, try X11 and visa versa. Also, what graphics card do you have?

Think its fixed after chaning the scaling from 115% to 110%. Not willing to downgrade to X11 :P But thanks for the help!

Excellent. I don't need to scale, so I never consider that 🤔
