Description:
Some apps have severe screen tearing issues with menu and transitions after mesa upgrade from 21.1.6. My solution so far has been to downgrade to 21.1.6, but now I have issues with Zoom, being unable to see or share video within the app (which I use for work). Installing mesa-git from AUR solved the issues

Additional info:
* package version(s): All after 21.1.6, except current devel ver on AUR
* config and/or log files etc: Default
* link to upstream bug report, if any
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5231

Steps to reproduce:
* upgrade to ANY mesa after 21.1.6
* start X
* On i3, open a Qt based app (Spyder IDE is my workhorse)
* Cry because the screen tearing issues made the app unusable
This task depends upon
