Bug description
After updating from 20.3 to 21.3, Xreader no longer displays the text of epubs. The table of contents and page-previews on the left side are there.
It is probably an incompatibility of the Nvidia driver 470 and Xreader in 21.(3). When downgrading to the Nvidia driver 390, the text is displayed again.
The problem did not exist in previous versions.
Steps to reproduce

Research direction
Start by reproducing the EPUB display failure on Mint 21.3 with Xreader 6.0.4 and the Nvidia 470 driver, then compare it with driver 390, where the text reportedly works. The issue is done when EPUB text renders correctly without losing the table of contents or page previews.
