Created attachment 2030104 [details] picture of the first virtual desktop with gnome login on fedora 40 and 41 with xwaylandvideobridge installed Description of problem: After booting the updated Fedora 39 to 40 Workstation, a white rectangle in the top left corner of the desktop appears (right below the activities button). It seems that the problem is related to xwaylandvideobridge. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xwaylandvideobridge Version 0.4.0-5.fc40 How reproducible: The described rectangle appears at any login into a gnome session in the first virtual display (not on any other display). Steps to Reproduce: 1. uninstall xwaylandvideobridge (dnf remove xwaylandvideobridge) 2. relogin 3. the white rectangle described has disappeared from the upper left corner of the first virtual desktop
This is also affecting me on my Fedora 40 GNOME login; uninstalling xwaylandvideobridge removed the rectangle.
This is also affecting me on my Fedora 40 GNOME. Stop the xwaylandvideobridge process removed the rectangle.
Also me on Fedora 40 Workstation, after installing KDE Plasma via: dnf install @kde-desktop-environment Subsequently the white rectangle showed up, without yet having switched between Gnome and KDE. Removing xwaylandvideobridge solved the problem: dnf remove xwaylandvideobridge
It might be best to report this upstream. Can anyone do that, please? (Add link it here). https://invent.kde.org/system/xwaylandvideobridge

(Add > link it here). > https://invent.kde.org/system/xwaylandvideobridge Looking at that link, it seems there have already been posted similar issues there, that were closed with a reference to a bugtracker at https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?component=general&product=XWaylandVideoBridge&resolution=--- There are already at least 2 issues opened there for this problem. This one looks to best match what people describe here on RH bugzilla: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485604 We should probably add ourselves to the CC list there as well, so it gets noticed?
Thanks for finding it. Yes, you can CC yourself and perhaps add a comment stating that many users are affected (possibly link here to this bugzilla or Fedora Discussion [1]).

Thanks.
Hy there i do also see this on my Fedora-F41 workstation running a gnome desktop after login with not application started.Xlssclients show these components: $ xlsclients buster gsd-xsettings buster ibus-x11 buster xwaylandvideobridge buster mutter-x11-frames It is still there! I am running gnome on a AMD Ryzen 7 5700G workstation with 3 attached 4k monitors. The white rectangle is sometime displayed after a fresh boot-and-login on gnome.
