Bug Description

Desktop tooltips (also browser, apps etc.) are distorted and corrupted for old AMD cards after latest system update and possibly xorg update. Is this a xorg related problem?

System Info: https://termbin.com/tzn3

And this is a screencasting of the problem:

This is my glxinfo: https://pastebin.com/AMUyf3xa

PS In linux mint forums there is a bypass of the problem by reverting back to LTS graphic stack, which indeed it works: apt install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-video-all

I am also seeing the same thing as the screencast.

It can be reproduced with tooltips and the Alt+Tab window.
