I suspect an issue on my end. I’ve been having some weird and various esoteric bugs lately on my computer, but… For some reason, I can’t say for sure all the issues I can come across on my computer are related in some way. Everyone encounters weird glitches from time to time.
Used a Gigabyte AERO 15-WA laptop with the following specs;
3840 x 2160, 60Hz
Intel i7-9750H
RTX 2060
16 GB of system memory
Trackpad, not mouse
Unfortunately, that’s the only Windows device I can get my hands on tonight (11:30pm here). I’d like to test with a real mouse - and I really can’t explain why, but with different refresh rates & monitor response times? It’s browser-specific, so… I don’t understand. My brain’s just fixated on them.
I’m particularly irrationally angry at Edge, another Chromium-based browser, not having the same issue. *scratches chin* Have you tried reproducing under a different Windows user profile?
This is what puzzles me. As you said yourself – I thought it could be an engine rendering bug, but there is no issue with Edge. Tried on two monitors as well.
I guess it’s more of an “external” bug from another part of my system.
I don’t think it’s related to Discourse so I suppose the topic can be closed, though I could update if I’m able to find a fix… And I have yet to encounter the bug on another website but who knows?
Dunno if you happen to have such an account, but I’d be curious whether you can reproduce in Twitter search results. Not sure if they allow you to search without logging in these days…
No issue on Twitter. I also tried tweaking the ClearType Windows setting as well as changing my forum’s font, and the Windows zoom level in the display options, but it didn’t resolve the issue. Or not completely.
