Displaying an jpg or png file with gnome image viewer (loupe) produces a garble image. See attachment.

Similarly the brave browser produces an unreadable screen. See attachment.

Both these appear to be related as they happened immediately after a recent update with yay. Has anyone else seen a similar problem?
What sort of hardware are we talking? Without knowing that, it’s all guesswork.
There is currently an issue with mesa on older Intel hardware. The workaround is to downgrade mesa.
sudo downgrade mesa
BTW, I won’t download random PDFs, so I’m also only guessing at what your renderings look like.
If I’ve guessed wrong, perhaps you could supply more complete information. (And without the need for us to download untrusted files, you know?)
Most people won’t do this so I would suggest you add the images to the forum (also why are you sharing images as a PDF?)
Hi @terryd,
The most likely bugger is the mesa upgrade from 26.0.6 to 26.1.1
Try to downgrade mesa package.
Check if it still excist
ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa*
Downgrade
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa-1:26.0.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Reboot
do not use PDF files. we have a simple tool that you can use to share information with the forum its called eos-sendlog please use this and post the url to the information so we can view your details. As far as Images you can upload them directly here. The fact you put them in a pdf file makes me steer clear.
This seems to have been fixed in mesa 1:26.1.2-1 currently (2026-06-03) in Arch testing.
