Package: gnome-shell
Version: 43.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.8
Dear Maintainer,
Recently a general upgrade was executed with gnome-shell
upgrading from version 43.0-2 to 43.1-2.
After this upgrade the gnome-shell wayland screen is flickering
and mangled at any action. Flickering stops after short time,
but screen often is mangled.
During flickering different old or background screens are shown.
Also the logon-screen is flickering and mangled.
Some user-friendly person has decided to stop support for the i915 dri
driver.
As a "service" the mesa-upgrade at Debian also automatically deletes this
driver.
If an old i915-dri driver is moved to the original location,
the flickering problem is gone.
Also if "Gnome on Xorg" is started there is no flickering problem.
In that case swrast is used for software rendering.
I do not know which method gnome with wayland is using, but it is not
swrast.
