App disrupts graphical shell on KDE

[benvantende]

When opening the application in KDE (Kubuntu) the app seems to disrupt the graphical shell. Some apps get a black border around them, like Telegram and specifically Brave gets a very large black border. Also, my windows stop being 'wobbly'. When I quit the nordvpn gui my screen flicker and everything returns to normal.

Can you run the NordVpnLinuxGUI.sh script and send me the Kivy env that your system uses? Mines

Kivy is built on top of sdl2 but can fall back to pygame I think on some systems. My first guess would be that its a OpenGL/SDL2 issue possibly?

Same here, using Garuda linux and KDE. I also use an AMD cpu/gpu as the user above. Here is my output:

Looks the be related to this issue where the desktop compositor gets disabled when running Kivy apps if it helps kivy/kivy#5810
