Dear all:

I managed to get around the problem by switching to wayland instead of using good old X11.

Since Ubuntu/20.04 has an option of log in using wayland, it was pretty easy for me to do.

For those who ran into similar problem, may be you should give wayland a try as well.

Performance on wayland is pretty good, I actually feel it's more responsive on wayland than X11.

Good luck.
