I upgraded yesterday from 5.7.4 to 5.7.5. I hoped the problem I have had been fixed, but no. If I switch desktops too many times, or too often or something, the desktop becomes unusable until I reboot (I haven't tried just restarting xdm). It flickers rapidly, bits of one desktop are shown in the middle of another or on a blank background, and it's hard to see just which is the currently active desktop. This may be a bad interaction with the xorg-driver for my AMD GPU, which has only been on the market for about a year. Though sys-firmware/amdgpu-ucode hasn't changed since June. -- Rgds Peter
