Hi, I'm not having this problem currently under commit 223d8fb4a0e31957c85ef42ef501c8ed038a7259, kernel version 5.10.4-gnu. So, I'm satisfied. However, I should note, for the record, that I did change my graphics card in the interm from the original reported AMD ATI Radeon HD 4250 (integrated GPU) to an external NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Rev. 3.
