Summary of existing issues with the nVidia proprietary driver

[Tekstryder]

We are on a roll here folks… another one knocked off the list today!

3. GTK4 application tooltips and popover dialogs are stretched/distorted/frozen. This affects the NGL renderer.

**nVidia internal tracking Bug # 5382305

@Tekstryder

I’m now testing the egl-wayland2 library.

• GitHub - NVIDIA/egl-wayland2: Dma-buf-based Wayland external platform library

Thanks @kbrenneman for pointing this new lib out!

GNOME/GTK Application tooltips are stretched/distorted

Upon building today’s git main@1229d635… the tooltip issue with the GTK4 NGL renderer is resolved. I suspect also the popover/dialog distortion issues noted over the course of this thread may too be resolved/improved, but as noted several times previously, they became very rare and difficult to reproduce with recent GTK/Adwaita releases. I’ll wait to mark this SOLVED until egl-wayland2 is officially tagged & packaged for my distro, and the temporary-fix env var is no longer required. Hopefull…
