            Bug ID: 473768
           Summary: Windows black out after some time
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde

KDE black boxes wont go away

SUMMARY
***
This normally happens with firefox being open. If I need to right click for a
context menu or god forbid I open up the "Plasma Menu" from time to time I will
get a blacked out window option. I attached a screenshot. It seems like ever
since I upgraded a year ago thru the latest KDE Plasma versions it has been
getting worse and worse - it sucks honestly and I doubt the dev's here will do
anything about it. You never fix anything

I have a gtx 960 card if that helps, i run xorg, and the latest driver
535.104.05 for nvidia - but I can almost guarantee this post will be met with
"Just you brah"

The only fix I can find is closing firefox out completely and then reopening it
- its on borrowed time though, and second ... I HAVE TABS OPEN I WANT TO LOOK
AT!!!
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open up firefox let it be
2. Start doing normal stuff
3. Get a black screen when trying to use context menus or use "normal" programs

OBSERVED RESULT
I got blacked out screens in Xorg NOT WAYLAND

EXPECTED RESULT
To not have black boxes

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.27.7
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Again I use KDE, I use the latest nvidia drivers, I dont use wayland, I use
xorg.....if I open firefox for long enough eventually it effects the entire
desktop gui globally by it giving me black boxes for context menus or the
plasma menu itself. The only fix is to exit firefox all together. KDE sucks,
just opening the dialog box to import what I am talking about took me 3 tries
for it to let me select.
