Details

Description:
When pcbnew starts up, it creates a grey spot in the upper left corner.
This spot can be "rubbed away" by moving a window over it.

Additional info:
* package version: kicad-5.1.9-1
* i use an AMD Radeon RX550/550 Series (POLARIS12, DRM 3.40.0, 5.10.29-ARNE, LLVM 11.1.0)
* i took a screenshot of that artifact

Steps to reproduce:
1. just start pcbnew
2. the upper left corner should look like the upper right corner
This task depends upon

dunno... i dont use it anymore...

but i should have mentioned, that it was maybe related to Xorg setting TearFree to "true"...
at least when i tested it at 2023-03-15 there were no artifacts anymore...
