I'm filing this under multimedia since it's a video player that potentially causes the corruption.

Running tb v115.5.0 and everything is fine until I play any video with mpv that has hw accel enabled. The tb window after the video closes will be a combination of the video, desktop, whatever else it randomly gets corrupted with. I have tried to disable hw accel in tb in every conceviable way possible but nothing helps.

Newest kde/plasma/nvidia drivers with compositor enabled. I guess as a test I can try re-enabling all hw accel...

Is anyone else having this problem? Firefox with hw accel works fine, no issues.

execute TB via console and play the video, maybe you get more informational output.

Finally found the fix, adding "--x11-bypass-compositor=no" to mpv fixed the issue. Though the problem ultimately rests with thunderbird not properly handing the compositor.
