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

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

    i did make a separate install of arch and sway, installed steam and the issue did not persist so i believe the issue to be with my main install. ive seen people with nvidia cards have had similar issues with wayland + electron/CEF but my amd card has been fine till last week.
