I have a Titan X graphic card running on Ubuntu 18.04 + Xfce4 desktop, and I experience tearing while dragging windows when Minecraft is open. I have two monitors, and it seems to always happen to the Minecraft window on my main monitor, but to all windows as soon as I drag them to my secondary monitor. The other windows on my main monitor are a bit irregular.
Before installing these two: sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit gcc-6, as suggested on this post, I only experienced lag between mouse/window, but now I experince tearing/shadows too. Still laggy.
I have tried forcing full composition pipeline on my x-server too, and saving it to my X11 file, as suggested on this other post, but no apparent change was to be seen after applying and experiencing a small black-monitor delay (I assume X11 reset).
As soon as I close Minecraft, the issues disappear. I'm uncertain on what Minecraft uses for their graphics, but I've been emulating games in Proton through Steam without any issue alike this one. As soon as I enter the menu of the game, the tearing returns. I don't need to enter a world, so I really don't believe it's a resource problem.
I'm not completely certain which repository I used to install my Nvidia drivers, but apt list nvidia* gives me a fairly long list of bionic,bionic-updates nvidia versions:
