Im running ubuntu 18.04. At random, my screen windows turn black. However, app bar and side bar stay visible. Doing a "ctrl-tab" shows running apps, i can switch apps, but all app windows remain black (see screenshots). They stay black and i cant seem to recover from it other than loging-out and then back in which is super annoying since i loose the work thats on the desktop and i loose a lot of productivity. The "black outs" only happen when i either do a mouse click or switch windows. Black-outs never happen self-spontaneously.
