Comment 5 for bug 1902983

Sorry for not adding sufficient information.
However the issue is fixed now.
I uninstalled and reinstalled my dgpu drivers and now everything is fine.
If you need more information please let me know. Please know that I cannot
record a video now as I don't have the issue anymore.
