Solid and sometimes flickering black box at top left of Nautilus and Gnome Settings windows

Black box and sometimes flickering at the top left of the Nautilus window and Gnome Settings. Issue does not appear with other application windows e.g. Firefox.

There is also a transparent black box over the address bar when entering text. I have attached example screenshot to help understand what I mean.

Not sure how else to describe it :grimacing:

What I have tried:

  • Reset Gnome settings using

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/

  • Changed style from light back to dark, set appearance settings to default in Gnome tweaks.

I don’t want to go randomly resetting and/or deleting gnome config files and break it even more, if anyone has any suggestions on what I can try next that would be appreciated.


Hi and welcome to :fedora: .

This might be related to GTK’s new graphics renderer. Check if this fix works for you.
