Citrix redrawing problems in kubuntu 21.10

Since upgrading from kubuntu 20.10 (via 21.04) to 21.10, my citrix session to my work (Windows) has become pretty much unusable, with windows not being redrawn properly: screenshot of citrix session.

I am pretty sure it is not an issue with citrix itself: this system has worked for I think 5 years, and became unusable after the upgrade, 2 weeks ago. I have always used a manually-installed version of Citrix Reciever, which was not upgraded.

tijmen@Betsy:~/Programs/Connexxion VPN$ ./ICAClient/wfica -version
Citrix Receiver for Linux
Version 13.2.0.322243

Since having these issues I tried a new way of logging in to Citrix, now no longer via VPN+Citrix Reciever, but Netscaler+Citrix Workspace, which looks like a newer version of the Citrix Reciever launched from the browser (without the need for a VPN session) and installed from the Citrix download page:

tijmen@Betsy:/opt/Citrix/ICAClient$ ps -ax | grep ica
   7717 ?        Sl     0:26 /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica -icaroot /opt/Citrix/ICAClient /tmp/mozilla_tijmen0/Q29udHJvbGxlci5LQSBEZXNrdG9wIDIwMTY-.ica
tijmen@Betsy:~$ /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica -version
Citrix Workspace for Linux

This has exactly the same problems, whether running in full screen or in a windowed mode.

I really have no idea where to begin to look for a solution, as window managers is not at all my forte - I have always used just what kubuntu supplied. I apparently use Wayland and X.Org 1.20.13. I have Intel graphics (Intel Core i7-6700 with built-in graphics card). No hardware was changed in the upgrade.

As I am at loss as to where the problem might lie, searches for people with similar problems have not been fruitful, and no sign of a solution.

Have you tried to use Xorg and not Wayland? From your message it is not clear.

For me this is a workaround an issue with Citrix and Ubuntu 22.10. Fullscreen across 2 monitors does not work well any longer.

But are you sure the Citrix version you use is the same as when it last worked?

I was using Xorg. I have updated ubuntu to 23.04, re-installed icaclient, now it works. Thanks for helping though!

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.
