VRR causes screen to black intermittently when a window is fullscreen

[Daniel van Vugt]

VRR (if you enable it via the hidden experimental setting in mutter 46) causes the screen to black intermittently when a window is fullscreen. As mentioned in: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3419

No, building against libdisplay-info doesn't fix this bug. That's just a prerequisite. This bug will require deeper work in Mutter upstream.

This bug was fixed in the package mutter - 46.4-1ubuntu1

mutter (46.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]
  * Delete patches that aren't needed for LP#2073009

  [ Jeremy Bícha ]
  * Stop ignoring build test failures on Debian ports.
    The test failures make it appear that GNOME Shell/Mutter is broken there.

  * Run dh_auto_test everywhere even if results are skipped on some
    architectures
