   What level?  I have Leap 15.5 (KDE, X11), completely current and   
   everything is working normally.  Something minor was installed this   
   morning - and I've just added the ghostscript update after reading your   
   post.   
   As it happens I also updated my test machine (same level and config) a   
   couple of hours ago, rebooting after the update and looking at a couple   
   of online videos.  No problems at all.  The ghostscript update was also   
   installed there so it is not as though there is something newer that   
   I've missed.
