We have now memtest86+ 6.10 which has many rewritten code.
Can you please test if that works now fine?

Hi, thanks for replt, is high probable you don't have issue with grub 
itself but memtest86+, the version in stable/testing/unstable don't work 
in major of case as I saw, experimental one with latest upstream version 
and other patches have many fixes for newer hardware and newer gcc and 
also other improvements related to grub, can you test it please?

Package: memtest86+
Version: 5.01-3.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I think I default installed Debian bullseye and Grub is configured to
use graphical framebuffer and render text. When invoked from there
memtest86+ doesn't seem to update the screen at all (presumably trying
to write to text buffer?).
