We believe this issue is https://launchpad.net/bugs/2081291 and needs
to be ultimately fixed in either Mesa or more likely in the Nvidia
drivers themselves. This issue affects other GTK4 apps beyond Nautilus.

We have worked around this issue by switching the default renderer
from vulkan to ngl in gtk4 4.16.2+ds-3. That version is currently in
Debian Unstable and should reach Debian Testing at the end of this
week.

Thank you,
