I have a case. My PC at work is a HP Celeron PC. For some reason the Intel HD drivers go nuts in Office and the whole ribbon just turns black. That spreads to all other applications and makes every signel menu bar just a black rectangle. The only solution to this is to restart the driver. No driver or windows update could fix it.
Happens only in Office. No other program has ever triggered it. So it’s either Intel or HP or Windows, but since it is the lowest offering of hardware and software, probably a combination of all 3.
Is that function a niche thing? I’ve never needed it and don’t know anybody who has… What are some situations where it might need to be used?

If no drivers or windows update could fix it, are you sure it’s not a hardware issue? What you describe sounds similar to bad VRAM symptoms.

I think the question is, is it needed in your favourite Linux distro?
I guess not, since you would need GPU drivers in the first place /s
Linux has different drivers so the issue may be fixed. Oh and avoid using Wayland on that GPU. In case it fails all unsaved data will be lost
exactly my thought
