OK, thanks. Assuming the bug isn't just hiding and wouldn't reappear later in 18.04.3 if used long enough, then this implies a fix exists somewhere in the HWE packages (which are the difference between 18.04 fully updated and 18.04.3 fully updated).

The only two sets of HWE packages I can think of that affect graphics are Xorg and the kernel.

Firstly Xorg: Does the bug occur if you log into "Ubuntu on Wayland" instead?

Secondly the kernel: Does the bug occur if you install the latest test kernel packages from here? https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5-rc7/ Remember to run 'uname -a' to check which kernel is active.
