Visual bug in ""window tiling preview""

I was playing around with Zorin's customization settings when I noticed that the corners of the “window tiling preview” seem to be at a low resolution.

It only happens when I drag the window to one of the edges of the screen; when using Tilling Shell, the corners are normal.

It's not a big deal, but I'd like to know how to fix this.

  • Does You System run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with the Command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
  • What Graphics Card do You use? If Nvidia: What Driver do You have installed?
  • Is Fractional Scaling active?
  • How is Your Refresh Rate set up?
  • Wayland, but is also happening on X11
  • RTX 3050, nvidia-driver-580-open
  • Its disabled
  • 144hz

I would suggest to try it with a Combination of X11 and non-open Nvidia Driver.

I tried that, and now this error appears every time I try to do this.

And trying to go back to the driver I was using before doesn't work either.

Open the Terminal and type:

sudo apt purge nvidia* libnvidia*

to remove any installed Nvidia Stuff. Then type

sudo apt autoremove

to remove File Rests. but please take a Look at the List with the to be removed Elements before deleting then. Then to install a Nvidia Driver type:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-580 nvidia-dkms-580

If You want try an other Driver simply replace the Driver Number. And when You want to install the open Driver again add at the End of each Package -open

Driver issue resolved, but corners still have the same problem

Do You use one of the default Zorin Themes? Do You have any other visual Issues?

I use the layout that looks like Windows, with a dark theme and green color.
I played around with Appearance a little, but even after changing to other layouts and trying to return to the default, the problem persists.

And as for other visual problems, that's the only one that causes my screen to freeze when I leave a Steam trailer in full screen mode.

Did you try to disable the Zorin tiling shell for testing if the corners are normal then?

Go to Zorin Appearance > Interface > Advanced Window Tiling
and turn it off for testing.

I read that there are conflicts when you enable the function for active screen edges and Zorin tiling shell at the same time (active edges are disabled after each logout or reboot). Maybe it helps.

Do You have any other Third-Party Gonme Extensions installed?

I left Window Tiling enabled and disabled screen edges, problem solved!

Thank you very much!
