Window crashed/blank when using Nvidia

On Wayland, the window crashes immediately upon launch and leaves this error message

Arch, Gnome 46, Nvidia 560. I think it's an issue with Nvidia because I have another device with identical setup except without Nvidia, and I don't encounter this issue there.

Same issue here with Arch Linux KDE 6.1.5 and Nvidia 560 with Wayland enabled.

EDIT: I fixed this by setting the environment variable WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
Now it works
Thanks to gerson's comment here

same happens to me


Nvidia driver 560.35.03
