taskbar icons disappear/relocate on hover

As the title says: task bar icons (just the images, not the button elements) are disappearing, unless that a pile of them at top-left. This happens on hover. Certain updates will bring one back, such as a new window popping up. This is not in gamescope, and happens despite reboot. I've been using ujust update frequently, so up to date. fetch:
