Strange artifacts appear on bar at random

[nonetrix]

If you look closely you can see a strange pixel formation on the bar, this seems to appear seemingly randomly and also appears on both of my monitors at the same time in which I have two bars. Only way to remove it is if text over writes where the pixels are placed trying to move my cursor over it or a window does nothing. This makes me rule out Hyprland or hardware failure mostly, but it could still be either of those. I am honestly just curious if anyone has encountered this and what it could be. First time I had this it was just one random red pixel, but red or orange seems to be the theme


Also, I haven't noticed any system stability issues really besides ones that I know are software bugs. I can stress my GPU for hours and nothing out of the ordinary really

check it with the inspector to make sure its not a widget you placed there

Will if it comes up again comes up once every blue moon seemingly, but I don't see anything weird there currently

I found way to reproduce it! Get a bunch of windows all with different titles but sameish length then quickly move between them updating the window title widget, eventually you will get a red pixel. I was able to do it with one window named cava, btop, and finally ~ like this

then hovering over another window with a bigger title will remove it

I will give my config later but it's a mess for sure I added a bunch of white space to visually separate code as I was working on it and generally it's hacked together and has some bugs. I think this is a GTK bug honestly, seems most likely

Also media player widget timestamp does it as well

I seem to be having the same issue: weird colored pixels artifacts.
They disappear on mouse hover.

Look at the battery indicator, the name of the day and the number of minutes on the clock.

Before mouse hover

After mouse hover

Seems similar, I suspect it to be a font rendering bug in GTK version this uses. Am I right or nah?

About configs, I switched my OS and reinstalled a bunch of times and now I'm using Quickshell instead(both are great btw). But these configs should work probably, but not same I was using but equally hacky lol https://github.com/nonetrix/nixdots
