System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.18.1-zen1-1-zen-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 515.48.07

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.2, branch: makepkg (modified), commit date: 2022-03-31 17:40, hash: cc66d1020c
Worked: I don't remember.

Short description of error
In Arch Linux, the menu suddenly disappears.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I don't know exactly how it arises. It just suddenly disappears from the menu when I'm working.
When I press CTRL+SPACE 2 times it will reappear.

Where there are a lot of pixels is just me blurring the name of the project.

Does this still happen in the latest build https://builder.blender.org/?

Does the issue persists after reloading the file?

Not sure if this works for Nvidia, but to rule out the GPU driver, does the issue still happen with software GL LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender?

1 Yes
2 Yes
3 Disabling the driver is unacceptable. Why would I need an expensive video card?

For 3, just for testing purposes, not as a solution. Does it work in this case?

Since the issue persists even after file reload, can you attach a minimal file after the problem happens?

With respect to you. I don't know how to make the 3rd point.

It happens even in the default scene, I work in it, do something and the menu disappears. I will attach it, but I don't know how that helps.

Just open a terminal and execute LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender, check if this fixes the issue or not.
I can't replicate the issue on this file, so it must be a drawing issue, it would be great if you can try the above command.

I will try after work to do point 3. The problem appears randomly and I do not understand what it is related to. Since I posted here about the problem it has not appeared for several hours.

This often happens when you start a renderer. The window blinks and the panel at the top becomes as I showed, the tabs disappear.

I also noticed that it happens just when I'm not even doing anything and Blender is just open.

When using the command "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 blender" the panel did not disappear. But I didn't test it for long.

Hi, thanks for the report. I don't think this is a linux only issue. see: #91006 (Topbar glitch when the Status Bar is hidden due to the process bar display)
I'll close this as duplicate.
Feel free to comment if you think bug you've encountered is different than #91006

Hello, I sometimes get the same arrow as I noted, but I have everything overlapped not by half, but completely. And you can't see a single item or a single tab.
