Linux/Wayland: The game content is displayed slightly higher than it should be within the window

Bug description

System:

• OS: Fedora 42
• DE: GNOME (Wayland)
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 (also have intel graphics, but i launch game from discrete card)
• Drivers: Proprietary (from RPM Fusion Nonfree)

---

Sometimes, when i start game it have black strip on the bottom and game are drawn slightly higher.
It's may be fixed if setting "minimise osu when switched to another app" is enabled: alt+tab to another window and return to osu. Osu restarts rendering and everything becomes normal.
I always launch the game in one way, so it seems to me that the bug is just random, and I can't repeat this on purpose, trying to somehow interfere with initialization (by jumping from window to window, etc.)

P.S.

I was able to repeat this bug. You have to switch between desktops VERY quickly to get into some kind of timing to break the display. Apparently, while I'm waiting for a few seconds during the window launch, I start moving between desktops, and in some cases it breaks the display.

You might want to try starting the game with environment variable OSU_SDL3=1 and see if that resolves your issue. But this is generally going to be out of our hands, and is likely an issue with your DE.
