Hi everyone,
after a recent update (~1 week ago) I started having the following issue on my Manjaro system. Some applications, such as TeXstudio, manjaro-settings-manager, started rendering really slow in a grainy-like fashion. That is, the screen is updated like sand flows through a sieve (I have no better way of describing it). I wasn’t able to find a common denominator between the applications that do not work (Firefox, Thunderbird seem to run fine).
The CPU load also looks relatively normal while I am using these programs.
I am running the following system (inxi -F)
