Ah. And I was still running 1.14.0 at home, I'll test 
firefox/thunderbird when I get home and see if downgrading helps.

I use the nvidia quadro K420 everywhere and driver updates would 
frequently cause problems for me. I recently had to switch to 
nvidia-driver-470 but I still have window flickering when running chrome 
or kicad... (Not to mention occasional xserver crashes when moving a 
window partially off the edge of the display -- I eventually had to 
adjust my window manager to disallow that...)

Let me know if there are things I can test, I have a spare desktop at 
home too.
