[MCL-12795] Graphic artifacts around main launcher window on Linux

Since November, I have had this weird and trippy graphic bug where an inch of the surrounding desktop for the main launcher window gets attached to it like a border. It also causes the drop shadow my desktop environment adds to every window to become really thick and dark for just the main launcher window.

Screenshot included as an attachment, there are no errors from minecraft-launcher in a terminal and this error does not extend to Minecraft or any other child windows the launcher uses such as the log output window.

In case you were going to ask me: yes, this also happens in the beta version, I just chose the stable version Because it is what I had installed at the time of this bug report.

Same here using win 10. It looks like small strings Around the screen. (Difficult to describe)

Using GTX 1060 3GB and swapped to another Graphicscard. Issue still there. Then I built myself a new system... worked... took GTX 1060 to the new tower.

Can confirm on Intel integrated graphics and ElementaryOS.

I noticed that this is thrown in the terminal at start, I don't know if it's related.

ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(346)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in 
process gpu-process.

Related elementary OS issue: https://github.com/elementary/gala/issues/244

Can be fixed by opening /usr/share/applications/minecraft-launcher.desktop and replacing

Exec=/opt/minecraft-launcher/minecraft-launcher
with
Exec=env GTK_CSD=0 /opt/minecraft-launcher/minecraft-launcher
