I have searched for similar issues.
For Python issues, I have tested with the latest development wheel.
I have checked the release documentation and the latest documentation (for main branch).

Describe the issue

When using open3d.visualization.rendering.Renderer with the nouveau graphics driver on Ubuntu, black patches appear on meshes.

For instance, the following picture was obtained when running https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D/blob/main/examples/python/visualization/add_geometry.py:

Note the presence of black patches on the spheres in the above snapshot.

Installing NVIDIA drivers fixed the issue.

Before the update, the graphics are:
