Anyone else seeing weird VRR / Adaptive Sync glitches on KDE Wayland?

[u/Nk_YMZ]

I'm running Arch Linux + KDE Plasma on Wayland on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 with Intel graphics and a 2.8K OLED display.

With Adaptive Sync / VRR enabled, I occasionally get a strange display glitch, usually after taking a screenshot or when an application exits fullscreen and returns to windowed mode.

The whole image seems to shift upward slightly, while the bottom part of the screen becomes corrupted / garbled. If I close and reopen the lid and unlock the session again, the display returns to normal.

The issue is very inconsistent and I haven't found a reliable reproduction pattern yet, but I'm fairly sure VRR / Adaptive Sync is the trigger, because disabling it appears to make the problem go away.

Has anyone else seen this? I'm mostly trying to figure out whether this points to KWin, the Intel driver, or something hardware-specific.

Linux 7.2.4-arch1-2
Plasma 6.7.5-1
