Bug Description

Video of bug: https://youtu.be/O0__VNN9G_o

At 0:11 in the video you see old web browser data showing up in my program.

At 0:19 when I close a window in my program the texture for my piano key letters
flicker. By luck the texture for my keys sometimes flickers to stuff previously
displayed on my desktop. This flickering is linked to my mouse movement/placement.

When I run my program with the proprietary 440 NVIDIA driver things work fine.
I am on Ubuntu budgie 20.04 using XFCE on X.org X11.

The SDL2 program source:
