DetailsDescription:
The native VNC viewer application of package `tigervnc` cannot be used because it does not draw the remote system's view correctly, at least not in GNOME Wayland. For details and a video capture see the respective upstream bug report [1]. Additional info: * package version: tigervnc-1.13.1-2 * config and/or log files etc: None, output of `vncviewer` command looks good * link to upstream bug report, if any: [1] Steps to reproduce: Have Arch Linux, GNOME Shell in Wayland mode, and possibly AMD Mesa graphics, and attempt to use the `vncviewer` application.

I am sure it still worked one or two months ago.
Must be a regression in some other part of the involved software stack.
Anyone else has GNOME Shell + Wayland + Mesa + AMD Graphics (Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590])? and uses the TigerVNC viewer?
Output of "uname -a":
Linux my-system 6.4.12-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 24 Aug 2023 00:38:14 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Some packages and versions:
* linux-6.4.12.arch1-1
* mesa-1:23.1.6-4
* gnome-shell-1:44.4-1
* mutter-44.4-1
* wayland-1.22.0-1
* wayland-protocols-1.32-1
* xorg-xwayland-23.2.0-1
Agreed. Anyway, thanks for trying.
IME, graphical glitches like this are often mesa/driver/kernel related. Seeing as there's no clear tigervnc packaging problem here, you might have better luck taking it to the proper Arch support channels (Forum/IRC/Mailing Lists/Reddit/etc) to see if anyone has any ideas to assist with troubleshooting. Please let us know what you find out.

Nice one, thanks for investigating.

It's rather huge so I'm not for backporting it to the current release.
