"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've been seeing the same thing. It seems like it can happen on any web page, a small string of text will suddenly appear as garbage. I thought at first that it might be a video card issue, maybe bad memory causing garbage output on a section of the screen, but then found that it's happening on my laptop as well as my desktop, and only on web pages, not in other apps. Must be something in the current Edge dev build.
For reference, I'm seeing this on Version 81.0.403.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit)
Here's a (redacted) screenshot showing an example I had a few minutes ago. This was taken while I was viewing the message headers of an email on outlook.office.com.
On the second line, the C after my redaction is a real character that appears as it should, the garbage begins immediately after that.

I'm also seeing corrupted text, in my case in almost every Word document I open in the web app. Verified it's still present in today's update (81.0.410.1)
