i have had the same issue at about the same time also with ubuntu 20.10 following a recent update, i took a very amateur video of what it looks like:
https:/
i was told that doing the following:
sudo apt-get purge xserver-
sudo apt-get install xserver-
would fix it, unfortunately it did not, this is not an issue i have ever had before and literally appeared out of no where, my specs are:
Intel® Celeron(R) CPU 1017U @ 1.60GHz × 2
Intel® HD Graphics 2500 (IVB GT1)
64-bit
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
please check the link to confirm if this is the same issue you are having
