This has been taking away the joy of using my desktop since upgrade to 48. I’m relieved it’s gone now 
Is this also a thread to cover issues with the 48 release?
I’ve upgraded as soon as it was available in the EndeavourOS repo but the past few days I’ve been having a lot of crazy graphical glitches/windows leaking through each other(youtube on Brave flickering through Telegram for example). Not using a single gnome extension.
Not sure if it’s entirely Gnome 48 related or something on the mesa or vulkan side but my system(ryzen 8845hs / radeon 780m) hasn’t been the most fun to work on the past week.
Glitch examples in question:
Would love to know if others with an AMD system ran into these glitches.
I have a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with a Radeon RX 6650 XT and everything is fine with gnome48. No issues at all.

hmm weird.
not sure how to start debugging these glitches, but I’ll make a separate thread on it then.
thanks!
I’m having this issue after upgrade to 48. When I first login to desktop and open the quick settings menu, I don’t have the brightness control slider.
It appears after I have pressed the brightness control keys on my keyboard.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Unfortunately this is looking to be the case with mine as well. 
I just checked, and yes, I’m experiencing the same thing. I usually just use the keyboard controls for screen brightness, so I didn’t notice before.

Thank you so much for the confirmation! I have been seeing this ever since the upgrade but didn’t post about it before now. Good to know that it is not me and most probably it is a bug. I haven’t looked at GNOME’s bug report but I should be doing it. Thanks again!
I enabled the large text accessibility setting (1,25 text scaling) and my QT6 programs don’t follow the setting on Wayland, they remain at 100%
Am I the only one with this bug?
this font .. i love it

Its Technical CE Italic—I’ve been using it for years…I don’t remember where I found it…If you can’t find it, I can send it to you.
That’s my only gripe with Gnome: most user extensions just die after upgrading. Why can’t they make a “stable” interface for developers?
This will be an interesting read, it seems to have been discussed on the Gnome discourse.

I have read that thread on GNOME discourse. It is from 2021.
I have to say that I disagree with the complaint the OP of that thread has.
The complaint in a nutshell:
With every major release of gnome all my extensions break.
Key statements from the gnome devs in a nutshell
-
Extension authors should have time to port their code to a new version of GNOME;
-
The other alternative would be to block extensions from monkey patching GNOME Shell, and instead provide stable APIs for extensions to use instead, like Firefox does. That sounds fine to me, but it would mean most of those extensions you currently use would cease to exist, because extensions would be limited to doing only what GNOME developers allow them to do. Currently extensions can do anything, and that would be a big change.
By the way, you could start a similar discussion regarding the linux kernel. Every major kernel release is breaking dkms modules like ZFS or NVIDIA. You can address this to the kernel developers and ask for a stable API. But I can tell you, that this will not help.

Nice website …

I do feel like gnome is starting to incorporate some of the more popular extensions right into gnome - IE custom-accent-colors for instance.

Thanks for posting about this thread! It’s good to know that it is now known and I hope a fix will be coming soon. I have got used to it kind of but it would be nice to not press the brightness control button every time I log in to the desktop.
I was just heading to this forum to post about it but I see some people already mentioned it.
Same here, it only appears after I pressed brightness change controls on my laptop.
Seems the fix is ready to go but still needs to be merged, just have to wait a little bit.
