This is not limited to this build, but read-aloud causes random text rendering glitches on my system:

    sialivi the visual glitch is completely random and not caused by any user actions, although highlighting the text should fix it (at least until it happens again).  It's caused by an upstream Chromium bug, and we received the fix for it from them earlier this week, so it should make it into the next Dev release.

      I understand that it isn't something that was caused by this software specifically, as you said it was chromium. But thought I'd make it known (in case it wasn't) that more recently for myself, highlighting the text does not always fix the visual glitch.

    sialivi I'm also seeing this glitch occasionally, but I don't use read-aloud. Worths mentioning that I have uBlock Origin and Dark Reader installed.

    I too have seen this rendering glitch, but with the Dark Reader extension.

    Getting rendering issues with fonts even without the reader (on two different machines)

    sialivi I have the same glitches without reading aloud. Reloading a page fixes the glitch.

      Reload page is not necessary, select glitched text is sufficient.

    I get this without using read aloud, seem to only happen when i first visit a site and only if i've not clicked a link, which makes it very hard to submit a bug report for.

    sialivi This isn't limited to using the reader.  It scrambles text on a variety of pages, under a variety of circumstances, even when doing nothing but casual surfing.

      That's right, it happens no matter what user does

    I'm reading alot of fanfiction on fanfiction.net, where the pages are nothing BUT text...so I'll see...at least 30 separate instances of this happening during the course of a typical session(which for me is hours' long).
