Might be but I cannot test that due to the other AMD display related
bug.

I first thought, that it does not happen with fvwm2 but I also see it
with fvwm2 but not that often.

I could. But there is no hint and no unusual log entry.

That would take many time to recompile kernel, test it for several hours
and try again.

Even worse, there is another AMD related bug that makes testing
impossible.

There was many changes in AMD display code. Some of them already was
broken for systems (laptops) with internal display (eDP). The mentioned
bug was fixed between linux-image-6.5.0-1-amd64 and
linux-image-6.5.0-2-amd64. (It broke between linux-image-6.4.0-4-amd64
and linux-image-6.5.0-1-amd64.)

So, this is the history in upstream versions:
6.4.13: Works well
6.5.3: Two bugs, this bug and another related to scaling.
6.5.6: Bug related to scaling fixed and this bug fully visible.

I believe that it is related to eDP. So, maybe that limit's the possible
problem.

I have a work laptop that shows only this bug on AMD system but not the
scaling one (As it has no 4K resolution). But I cannot use that one for
testing.

Maybe another data point: Both laptops are from Lenovo. My private one
is a T14GEN3 and the one for work is a Z16.
