Bug Description

When scaling some windows in some programs down horizontal lines appear that seem to be part of the texture memory somewhere else on the screen.

This only occurs in some programs like nautilus and gnome-text-editor, but not in others like terminal or Firefox.

It did however occur when I opened the dialog in firefox to attach the screen capture.

Another screenshot of a modal file window Edit (62.3 KiB, image/png)

The artifact moves when the window moves, which suggests that something is either wrong with the library drawing on the surface (supported by only some programs being affected), or the compositor.

Problem did not occur on prior Ubuntu 20.04. I upgraded because the intel graphics acceleration for Intel N95 chipset was not supported. Thus the system used software rendering.

Some similar issues involve a stripe of corrupted graphics memory along the entire width of the framebuffer. THIS IS NOT THAT ISSUE. It's more like a bunch of 1px lines are spilling an image from somewhere else on the screen. In particular one of the screenshots shows the taskbar spilling on top of the desktop background by way of a nautilus window.

Seems to not happen with items built with Qt. but is definitely happening with gnome-text-editor, and system, nautilus,calculator and modal file window. It does not appear to be transient because I can open and close calculator and it will still happen. I don't know if that means it's a problem with gtk, or gnome. But from my loose understanding of Linux GUI development it seems to be restricted to apps likely built with the same widget toolkit.
