"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."
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)

HotCakeX, Limyx826, @Bruce_Lowekamp @Steve Whitcher : Thank goodness it's fixed. I was also worried it might be a hardware issue. So far, no more scrambled text on Dev 81.0.410.1.

Mike Glenn I have scrambled text on this version. It is probably not included?
