Public bug reported:
shortly after switching to kernel 5.8.0-50 on Apr 16, I got progressively worse
display scrambling on all programs. Wrote to ubuntuforums.org Apr 19 but found
no resolution. Thinking it was that kernel, I ran on 5.8.0-49 for a day without
problem, then it too started the same display glitches. The problem progressed
so far that I did a fresh system re-install on Apr 23. After, with the default
kernel, 5.8.0-50, scrambling was worse than ever, almost unusable. Fortunately,
the second kernel offered was 5.8.0-43. I have run on that kernel for 3 days
now with no sign of the scrambling issue.
The attached png shows static image corruption examples. The more dramatic
strobing, spontaneous jumping from window to window, window re-mapping, video
corruption etc., I was unable to capture.
