window decoration glitch with nvidia driver 495 and 510

[Mateusz Łącki]

With Ubuntu 21.10, with nvidia driver package 495 and 510 I have the graphics glitch after each login. The icons in the top bad of the window seem distorted by their upscaled "shadows"

This can be removed by restarting the gnome-shell (alt+f2 and then "r" command).
Under 470 no such error exist,

Description: Ubuntu 21.10
Release: 21.10

PS. It seems to me attaching two files to a bug report is not possible. Can it be added?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general.

You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Libera.chat.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

  apport-collect 1964333

and than change the status of each bug task back to 'New'.

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Mateusz, sorry for the late reply. It seems that you're trying to report an issue relating to packages that are not currently installed on your system. Reverting the status of both packages to 'New' so that the issue doesn't expire.

Thank you. Frankly I cannot continue to provide information on that bug. In the meantime I have upgraded to 22.04. And this particular issue vanished for me.

As far as I am concerned the issue does not exist any more. It still occurs at my computer at work, but there I have the Debian 11, and I guess this is not the right place to follow it.
