0xbgan

Has anyone else encountered a weird cursor + graphical glitch when opening vivaldi from the dash on ubuntu gnome + wayland? The cursor starts moving erratically and there are black corrupted pixels that appear randomly.

@0xbgan Could be GPUs, its drivers and Chromium core incompatibility with GPU Hardware Acceleration.

Try experimental setting each set to Enabled/Disabled:
vivaldi://flags/#disable-accelerated-2d-canvas
vivaldi://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization

That last worked for me in the past when such glitches appeared.
