Hello
I changed the nvidia driver to use the proprietary version and now I am getting vertical bars on some gnome apps (termainal, firefox, nautilus…).
Bug:
Here are the output of some commands:

Hi @jackos888 ,
I see absolutely NOTHING
Hope this helps!

What kernel are you running? Or just post output of
inxi -Fza
P.S. This is always the best starting point for help requests as you might not know what info migtht be important.
I am using a laptop and also I do not see this behavior with open source driver. It only happens with proprietary drivers.

I’m going to throw in the towel then. The only thing I can think of is some kind of hardware issue since it looks absolutely perfect on my end…

Double check if changing the selected Gnome themes and extensions might help. I think there is a BIOS update available for your system.

i had several nvidia-issues due to the fact that the vaapi-control is now in the aur and i had to install it. this caused a lot of issues with nvidia.
pamac build libva-nvidia-driver
Thank you all for your help.
It seems it was a Gnome issue, I reset the settings using dconf reset / and the vertical bars disappeared. Therefore, I loaded back my minimal config and added little by little my tweaks until I got my system back without the issue.

I think thats the first time I’ve seen mention of dconf reset / on the forums, and it was OP doing a true self-solve. clap claps.
