Bug Description
I am using the Nvidia driver version 295.40.
Using the window switcher, the switcher is always displayed garbled.
Using the window switcher multiple times led to a total freeze.
The computer didn't even respond to ping again.
After resetting and rebooting the computer, the dmesg log shows again the following messages:
