Bug Description
The screenshot speaks for itself.
Stuff like this used to happen occasionally up to 16.04, sually after resuming from suspend, but normally the areas would get redrawn properly sooner or later.
But since I upgraded to 20.04 I've seen display garbage like this a lot more often, and this particular instance has been like this for hours now.

Actually, now that I've been able to restore the shortcut for showing desktop (yeah, I could have minimized all the windows manually one by one), I realize that MY ENTIRE FUCKING DESKTOP is filled with noise.
I attach a screenshot of the whole desktop (I blurred out the icons)
