Verified fixed on Mantic using Mutter version 45.2-0ubuntu4.

** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
  When using software rendering on Xorg (so usually just in VMs), some
  parts of app windows may fail to redraw.
  
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2880
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
  1. Set up a virtual machine without graphics acceleration.
  2. Log into 'Ubuntu on Xorg'.
- 3. Open Settings > About and verify Graphics = llvmpipe and Windowing System 
= X11.
+ 3. Open Settings > About and verify Graphics = llvmpipe (or "Software 
Rendering"), and Windowing System = X11.
  4. sudo snap install chromium
  5. Open Chromium and find a web page with lots of text. Plain text without 
any links and staying at the top of the page will work best because you don't 
want to trigger any scrolling.
  6. Start selecting text with the mouse and while holding the button move the 
mouse up and down rapidly. Avoid triggering any page scrolling.
  7. Release the mouse button in roughly the middle of the area of text that 
was selected.
  8. Verify the remaining text selection is contiguous and not broken into 
multiple disconnected text selections (the bug).
  9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 several times to be sure.
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  The fix adds a new synchronization point between the compositor and X
  server. This should be inconsequential, although there is a "sync ring"
  in mutter used for this, and if a mistake occurs there then other parts
  of the desktop could appear to stop responding in Xorg sessions.
  
  [ Other Info ]
  
  This is a regression that started in 3.37.3 due to
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/commit/551101c65cda.
