The second issue is LP: #2115005

My guess is that this is a bug with the Nvidia drivers perhaps with
gtk4.

As a workaround, gedit is still available for install and still uses
gtk3.

Title:
  gnome-text-editor 46.3 blank window for long text file

Status in gnome-text-editor package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.

  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!

  
  Any suggestions for how to resolve this?
