Bug Description

Since kernel
"Linux U20 5.8.0-50-generic #56~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 12 21:46:35 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
I am no longer able to use the default Ubunutu Desktop GUI (gdm). Program windows keep flickering when I try to move any window or even only my mouse. Newly opened windows are partially not visible. Black areas keep appearing over elements - or text of any open window. These black areas are also visible on screenshots ... see attachment.

Reproduceability: 100%

Workaround: Use kernel 5.8.0-48-generic
