Package: xwayland
Version: 2:1.20.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainers,

Under a GNOME session with Wayland, a checked pattern appears on X
clients when calling the "View split on left/right" feature
(Super+Left/Right)... not always, but usually after a few back and
forth. Attached is a screenshot showing the problem with Firefox, but
I see the problem also with emacs, wish, xterm, gitk, git-gui... the
pattern doesn't always cover the whole window, but it seems the title
bar is always affected.

I cannot reproduce when using the "GNOME with X11" session.

Cheers,

Stéphane

From the screenshot, it looks more likely to be a driver issue than an
Xwayland one.

Please provide the corresponding output of glxinfo.

I've attached the output of glxinfo under Xorg, and under Wayland.
