Hi, I guess somewhat around a year I started to have this problem (I'm on an updated Arch GNU+Linux laptop, Dell XPS 15) which disappeared with some system updates but reappeared with others and it has stayed through various updates for a while now...
Programs seem to run normally but their windows only show "rain", nothing understandable.
It only happens with this programs, AFAICT:
$ chromium (avoidable with --disable-gpu )
$ epiphany
$ flatpak run chat.delta.desktop
$ jami (seems to get fixed with: $ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 jami )
$ mscore (aka, musescore)
Despite variations on each program, the 'nouveau' part I got in terminal output is always one of these (e.g.):
$ epiphany

Any help would be very welcome...
Some questions:
0. Should I add a complete terminal output in some way?
1. Is there anything I could do to help fix this issue?
2. What can I do to keep working with those programs until the issue gets fixed?
Thanks a lot in advance, kind regards.
