Xwayland was borked. Reinstalled all graphics drivers and mesa, Xwayland has fixed the issue, now all CEF windows render normally.

################################# Og post

a few applications that use CEF to render applications have serious artifacting (main install of arch with sway), i dont believe this is a gpu issue as i installed arch with sway minimal config and the issue was resolved.

anyway i am hoping someone smarter than me could direct me on where to start with debugging this issue :)

system:

OS: Arch Linux

KERNEL: 6.7.3-arch1-2

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (radeonsi, navi21, LLVM 16.0.6, DRM 3.57, 6.7.3-arch1-2)

GPU DRIVER: 4.6 Mesa 24.0.0-devel (git-95ad0c750c)

RAM: 32GB

    That looks like a bug I’ve seen in other Chromium apps that use hardware acceleration by default. The fix was usually to rollback the GPU driver.

    To quickly check if that applies here, you can toggle off hardware acceleration in Settings > Interface IIRC.
