Done, this issue now only relates to the (fake) blank text that happens
on plain ascii text files.

Ran the appport command that you mentioned.

** Description changed:

  Problem with gnome-text-editor version 46.3 on ubuntu 24.04.2 x64 (Noble
  Numbat).
  
  I upgraded the computer (in place upgrades) from ubuntu desktop 20.04
  LTS > 22.04 LTS > 24.04.2 LTS.
  
  The desktop computer has an nvida graphics card and I think wayland is
  using the version 470 of the nvidia driver.
  
  After the inplace os upgrades ended, the old reliable gedit was gone and
  instead I have gnome-text-editor .
  
  I pinned gnome-text-editor to the dash and start gnome-text-editor from
  the dash.
  
- But gnome-text-editor has two obvious problems that make it unuseable
- viz:
+ The symptom is:  specifically when I open a plain ascii text file a few
+ hundreds of lines long , after a couple of seconds the app window goes
+ blank (even if no key is pressed), and can be restored by scrolling
+ up/down. But I need to view the text without it going blank!
  
- (1) specifically when I open a plain ascii text file a few hundreds of
- lines long , after a couple of seconds the app window goes blank (even
- if no key is pressed), and can be restored by scrolling up/down. But I
- need to view the text without it going blank!
- 
- (2) Some of the dialog-boxes (popup windows) have text that is not readable or is blank. For example, when
- I choose Menu (hamburger menu) > Preferences, the initial screen is mostly blank with some boxes indicating controls. If I scroll the slider on right-hand-side of popup window then some text becomes visible, but not all, so some controls are "invisible" and remain thus.
  
  Any suggestions for how to resolve this?
