After a recent apt update, I ran into a set of issues with my display. At first, my graphics drivers weren't loading properly and my X server wouldn't start. I got those issues fixed with a fresh install of the latest NVIDIA drivers, so that's all good. However, one lingering issue still remained.
Every time I have a dark window (my terminal, VSCode, simply scrolling through search results with a dark theme enabled) in the center of my screen, my screen flickers with a green cross-hatch overlay or something. Here's an example. The overlay goes away when I release the mouse, but when I have it actively moving or scrolling through a webpage it causes that overlay to flicker. It only happens on my primary display, which is a 1980x1080 144hz display and doesn't apply to either of my other two monitors.
I've tried using a different compositor (attempted to use xcompmgr), setting the render backend to OpenGL 3.1, 2.0, and XRender, all with no difference. Changed the VSync to every possible option, the scale method, nothing.
If anyone has any ideas or needs more information, please let me know as this is super annoying when playing games as it happens when I pause Minecraft, or Terraria goes into night time, or when simply writing code in a dark IDE.

Edit:
I've tried disabling the compositor completely, it still happens. I've updated to 22.04 and it's still happening.
