Switching to xf86-video-intel didn't help.

This is still an issue as of Brave Version 1.48.171 Chromium: 110.0.5481.177 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Operating System: Kubuntu 22.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 5.19.0-35-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz Memory: 15,3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics Manufacturer: HP Product Name: HP ZBook Power 15.6 inch G8 Mobile Workstation PC

Maybe this has to do this nvidia gpu hardware acceleration?

FWIW, I'm not seeing the white flashes anymore, I think, but still see the corrupted images, although maybe a bit less, hard to say
