I was using media-libs/mesa-20.3.5 and upgraded to 21.1.2 (which
stopped issue)

I did not upgrade any drivers previously but have now upgraded libdrm
2.4.105 to 2.4.106 but this did not help.

Was using stable kernel 5.10.27 but upgraded to 5.11.22 but this did
not resolve issue.

Currently using a Radeon 5600 XT graphics card with latest
linux-firmware-20210518 but was using this before problem.

in make.conf I have following use flags
USE="X egl dbus udev alsa opengl symlink lock bash-completion ffmpeg
pulseaudio mtp virgl elogind wayland -cups -gnome -bluetooth -systemd
-networkmanager"

After upgrading kernel I was too lazy to switch back to stable version
