Graphical artifact in gaming mode after switching from desktop

Hi yall. I noticed earlier today that whenever I return to gaming mode from desktop, an artifact appears where my mouse cursor was last in desktop, and the artifact persists even when I play games. My workaround for it is to restart my system, or just not go into desktop mode unless I have to, which either way is annoying. My system is a Minisforum UM790 Pro that includes a ryzen 9 7940HS and a radeon 780M, and I installed the HTPC image for reference. The picture attached shows the artifact that showed up right where my mouse was last in desktop mode.

known issue, see https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1267636423847182409 workaround is to either suspend-resume to clear out the artifact, restart the steam client, reboot, or rollback to bazzite image 07/22 if you decide to rollback: bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 40-stable-20240722 but note this locks you to that OS version. if you want to resume regular updates later, run: bazzite-rollback-helper rebase stable

Hello guys, any new workarounds to this? And what are the drawbacks from rolling back the os version rn? I'm having the same issue on an ally x

enable developer mode then go to "power --> restart steam" old version without the issue (and much older gamescope) is no longer in github as only the last 90 days of images are kept

Is this a permanent fix, or do I have to restart every time I come back from desktop mode?

Suspend-resume should also clear out the artifact, it's currently unknown on what's causing the bug
