Screen Example Can anyone explain the attached image? Only happens in Skype. Used to occur in Chromium until I turned off hardware acceleration in Chromium settings. All packages and snaps are up-to-date. Info from system:

In case you are using the snap, check if the problem persists in .deb or flatpak

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
