Ubuntu

Weird clear bar across screen when scrolling

Asked by kreasonos

When scrolling in both firefox and chrome, as well as scrolling in games, there's a weird clear distortion bar across the middle of the lower half of the screen. Does it both on laptop screen and when plugged into an external monitor. Driver issue? Restarting doesn't fix.

I changed the window manager to compton and it's greatly improved! Pretty much solved the screen tearing for me, thank you!
