Describe the bug
After upgrading to NVidia drivers 590.48.01 panels of the terminal emulator flicker.

To Reproduce
It mostly happens when keys are pressed but easiest way to reproduce it is to open up second tab and toggle with ctrl+tab between them.

Expected behavior
No flickering, content is always visible

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Linux Mint, Kernel 6.8.0-90-generic Import Launchpad translations #91-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Nov 18 14:14:30 UTC 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  • Version 2.1.3
  • Display Technology: X11

Additional context
The problem doesn't appear with NVidia drivers 535. I think that's the last version that works as expected. I installed the drivers using NVidia installer, not via apt. My graphics card is NVidia RTX 5060ti
