Windows are not redrawn automatically after update on 2026-05-27

Since today, after I login, the screen displays only the desktop and the status bar. It seemingly doesn’t react to most of my inputs. When I use the shortcut $mod+d, the dmenu opens, but whatever I type is not displayed.

When I open two or more windows using dmenu or $mod+Return (launch terminal), their titles appear on the top of the screen. Then, when I change the stacking mode ($mod+w, $mod+e, $mod+s) or close a window ($mod+Shift+q), I can see that the system responds to my inputs as it supposed to but the changes are not displayed until I use one of the above shortcuts.

I’m not sure which program might be at fault here. i3 log doesn’t show anything unusual. I didn’t include it because it’s extremely large.

It is known that the version of systemd >=260 will have issues when the kernel is < Linux 6.12

I strongly suggest that you sync to the latest LTS Linux 6.18.

mhwd-kernel -i linux618

The later Linux 7.0 kernel has major improvements related to AMD Radeon Graphics.
