Same issue on Fedora with Nautilus and Terminal, hope they fix this soon :/
Same thing for files menu
I can confirm this also happens on Nautilus for me as well.
It also affects KGX which has a similar button as well.
My system recently updated the extension to version 44 and this issue persists.
Bump. Also happens for me. Only tested in gnome terminal.

Hello, I know this is quite a big issue, however this is still a beta functionality, and I'm not ready to sacrifice my studies to spend too much time resolving such bugs.
If you want to fix it, feel free to post a pull request, but for the moment I can't do anything about it (especially since I've already spent five hours trying to resolve it some weeks ago, with no sensible result).

No problem, I understand studies are above all. (I'm in 8th grade you know!😉) Take your time. I apologize if the bold text came off as "screaming".
Just wanted to tell y'all that the issue is fixed you run with Xorg, not Wayland!!
On Ubuntu (my distro which I use it on) Wayland and Xorg both come preinstalled. You just have to click the gear button on the login screen then select "Ubuntu on Xorg". Then login as usual.
I'm gonna use Xorg until this is fixed. Apps will startup slowly the first time you launch them and then after that they'll launch as fast as they do on Wayland. Frankly speaking I don't care about the tiny performance hit of Xorg compared to Wayland.
Hi,
I have this problem on Ubuntu 20.04.1, can confirm a switch to using xorg fixes it.
Sincerely, Cameron Dugan

I have same specs as you and I get this effect only when I try to rename a file in nautilus. So I tried enabling effects by using whitelist instead of enable all. By adding Nautilus whitelist, the class name was org.gnome.Nautilus I presume the popups and menus also have a class name which if only we can figure it out, then we can use them as blacklist and then enable everything.
I tried something like org.gnome.Nautilus.popup or.gnome.Nautilus.menu Etc but couldn't figure it out. I think if we should thinker more using this approach, we may find a way out on wayland until the bug is fixed.
Would truly be awesome if fixed on wayland
