Scrambled words

"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."
Mike Glenn I have scrambled text on this version. It is probably not included?
VladislavKosev, looks like I jumped the gun. I just read through the 81.0.410.1 is live post and realized the fix hasn't been released yet. I updated to Dev to 81.0.410.1 and rebooted this morning. I haven't seen scrambled text all day so far, whereas it was happening frequently last night.
Out of curiosity, have you rebooted since noticing the scrambled text? It'll be interesting to see how long I can go before seeing the glitch again.
- oh, well in my system, I installed Edge dev for the first time (cuz i always use canary) and after that went to a wikipedia page and i could see that text rendering issue immediately. took 5 mins between downloading,installing and reproducing the issue, no reboots in between. 🙂
HotCakeX , VladislavKosev Yes, the release notes clearly state it's a Chromium issue. I'm not suggesting otherwise or that rebooting is the fix. Again, I'm just curious to see how long after reboot before I start noticing the issue again. Bugs such as memory leaks (not saying that's the issue) could take a while to show up again after reboot. In any case, hopefully the fix will be released soon and render this moot.
No rebooting is fine. the problem is within Chromium codes.
Mike Glenn, I did update this morning, but haven't rebooted. You think rebooting somehow relate to the problem? Had scrambled text just 10 minutes ago.
