Bug Description

Intermittently 5- to 20-minutes after boot, a semi-transparent orange band overlays whatever is being displayed. I have a screen shot of it. This is a new installation of 24.04 LTS on a new-to-me computer. It is dual-bppt with Win10 and Windows does not have that behavior. The only remedy is to restart. My main computer uses 22.04 so 24.04 is new to me.

Is the display kernel, gnome, or X? The Ubuntu 24.04 documentation does not make that clear. From the docs I am guessing Gnome.

Additional symptoms:
- The color of the band changes based on the color chosen om the Settings>Appearance
- Minimizing the active window and then maximizes the window and no color band for all windows, so that's a work-around but not a fix
