Glitchy Display Using "Window Capture(Xcomposite)"

Hey there! I'm relatively new to using OBS on Linux (and to be fair I'm new to Linux as a whole, having only switched to it from Windows 10 in mid-April), and I plan to return to recording YouTube videos as I did a while back. There's one issue, though: For some reason, using the "Window Capture(Xcomposite)" source shows a very weird and glitchy display. I've tried to find anything about it online but I had no luck.

The screenshots I supplied are hopefully in order, showing all combinations of using and not using the "Swap red and blue" and "Lock X server when capturing" features. I installed VLC between the first four and last four screenshots (the ones with the OBS tab and the ones with the askubuntu tab). The following log file links are in order from pre-VLC install and post-VLC install, just in case that ultimately changed anything (and if this is necessary info, I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS with a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and an RX 550 GPU):

I'd really appreciate any help I can get figuring out what's wrong and what I have to do in order to fix or work around it so I can use the Window Capture source properly.

Looks to me that you are using the AMD PRO driver version instead of Mesa. This driver has been known to cause trouble in the past.

Update: I uninstalled the pro version of the amdgpu driver and installed the non-pro version and now it's working flawlessly. Thanks! ^^
