Electron-based apps will glitch after switching to a different tty and back

[zjeffer]

When working in an Electron-based application, and then changing to a different tty (for instance ctrl+alt+f2) and back, some contents of the application will be glitched.

Example 1

• A normal Visual Studio Code window with the pdf viewer opened:
• After switching tty's and back:

Reopening the pdf viewer fixes the problem.

Example 2

• Microsoft Teams normally:

• After switching tty's when Microsoft Teams is open, the entire window becomes white:

• Interestingly, switching to floating mode fixes the problem, and the whole window goes back to normal. Switching back to tiled, however, makes the window completely white.

EDIT

• Killing picom doesn't fix the issue
• Opening a new tiled window next to Teams won't fix the Teams tiled window
• Resizing the tiled window won't change it either.
