Dear Maintainer,

I use a 43" 4K TV as the primary monitor for my Debian desktop (running
Debian 12 stable).  It is connected over HDMI. The desktop has an AMD
GPU, with drivers from Debian. There are no third-party drivers
installed to the best of my knowledge.

The TV: iFF43U62 - https://www.iffalcon.com/in/en/tvs/u62

This TV has a picture mode called "PC" which makes it usable as a PC
monitor.

When I log in, the default desktop environment is Gnome on Wayland. I
rarely touch the mouse since I know most Gnome shortcuts. So, this leads
to situations where the mouse is idle for several minutes and when I
grab the mouse quickly after some time, this jerk breaks the HDMI
connection. I cannot recover from this without a full reboot.

I tried moving the mouse slowly after a period of inactivity. This
doesn't solve the issue.

My current workaround is to select Gnome on Xorg in the login screen. No
amount of sudden jerking of the mouse breaks the HDMI connection on Xorg.

I had no issues with Wayland on my previous monitor - BenQ GW2780 (1920
x 1080) 27 inches.

I am willing to provide more details to help debug this issue.

Thanks.
