Black borders around windows in GNOME

After updating my GNOME+Wayland system (after two months without using it, so big update) some GNOME apps are displaying a big black border or margin around them.

During the update process the system asked me to choose a repository for vulkan-driver (like in this post) and I chose the default amdvlk. Can that be related?

Try setting one of these in /etc/environment

GSK_RENDERER=gl
GSK_RENDERER=ngl

Then logout of your session and then log back into your session.

I’m so glad I ran across this thread. I had the same issue with Gear Lever in KDE Plasma. I just added GSK_RENDERER=gl to /etc/environment, logged out and back in. That did the trick!

Thanks @Cphusion!
