After using for a long time, application window fails to render application windows.

Problem:

  • application screen sometimes blacks out (Attached image)
  • occurs in any application (Chrome, Thunderbird, Alacritty, KSettings, Slack, Discord, ..)
  • rendering collapsed but the function is alive (terminal application accept commands, Chrome can connect(checked via wireshark))

Window collapse on KDE

Condition & How to reproduce

  1. after booting up for a several days (about 100 hours)
  2. (work as usual)
  3. operate window (raise, expand, shrink)
  4. sometimes screen blacks out

Actually, I cannot find how to reproduce except long uptime. This problem doesn't occur in first few days.

Environment

  • OS: Arch Linux (Kernal: 6.1.8)
    $ uname -a
    Linux arch-desktop 6.1.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue, 24 Jan 2023 21:07:04 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    
  • Desktop: KDE Plasma (5.26.5)
    $ plasmashell --version
    plasmashell 5.26.5
    

Question

Where is the problem occurs on (or how to find) ? Is this a kernel bug or kwin bug ?

I'm really annoying for this problem, and I can use my time for this problem. But I cannot find where is the correct place to contribute, because Linux and KDE project is very big.
