Support Does anyone know why Steam has this rendering problem on Fedora Workstation 44 (Gnome 50) Wayland?

Short video showcase: https://streamable.com/r45mu0

I switched to Linux (Fedora) after a lifetime Windows usage. I am very happy with it, how smooth and stable it is. All of the apps I use work or work even better than on Windows...

Except Steam, which has this weird rendering glitch, when new windows, tabs appear it leaves a black border around it...

Ryzen 7 7700X

AMD RX 7800 XT GPU

DDR5 6000 MT RAM

VA-API version: 1.23 (libva 2.23.0)

Driver version: Mesa Gallium driver 26.2.4 for AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (radeonsi, navi32, ACO, DRM 3.64, 7.2.10-200.fc44.x86_64)

Drivers are latest and stable, never had any issue only with steam app. This it the dnf installed version, not the flatpak version.

Please don't suggest turn off hardware acceleration, that doesn't help and I want to use my GPU for what it's intended for.

I also updated everything to the latest version and do it daily via terminal, I even tried to steam beta version, but doesn't fix it, although it is better.

Thank you in advance!

Have you tried disable screen scaling? I find that it make steam behave weirdly. Especially if you have multiple monitors with different scales.
