Weird line tearing on KDE (lemmynsfw.com)

Posting here too as I've not had any responses in the more relevant communities.

Hi there, I've got these really odd issue where certain windows will cause random lines like the one in the screenshot appear on my screen. They will often flicker a bit and will dissapear if I hover my mouse over them. The lines will display what is beneath the window itself. These occour quite frequently and are frankly getting quite annoying to deal with.

Is this a known issue with KDE right now? It does not happen while using Gnome on the same machine + screen. If it matters I am running CachyOS+KDE 6.4.1+AMD.

If there is anythign I can do to fix this then I'd greatly appriciate some pointers!

Yeah same specs for me: however changing the scaling from 115% to 110% SO FAR seems to have solved it.

I believe for me it was disabling "allow screen tearing"
