I believed I narrowed down the issue to how gnome-shell uses Xorg. As said before GDM did not have any issues, and (i may be seriously wrong here) GDM uses Wayland by default. When I launch the Ubuntu desktop with Wayland, the graphical issue went away and is running smoothly.
So I narrowed down the issue to Xorg or gnome-shell. So I went ahead and installed Cinnamon DE which uses Xorg, and the issue did not arise. My theory is that gnome-shell has a problem with rendering the shell (not programs) with Xorg. I also attached another image showing the problem, could the issue be the compositor??? ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2020-04-04 13-11-46.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1870725/+attachment/5346554/+files/Screenshot%20from%202020-04-04%2013-11-46.png ** No longer affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870725 Title: artifacts appearing on gnome shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1870725/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
