There is an display issue where the AVD display seems to keep switching between two different renderings of the screen making fonts seem bold, then narrow. It keeps toggeling as you move the mouse around and move or interact with windows.
It happens on MacOS Windows App v11.0.5 and is most consistently reproducible if you configure the AVD to launch in full screen and then you change it to a window, but sometimes when launching in a window or after resizing the window it happen as well.
I could not get screenshots of the different states, it seems that the act of taking the screenshot triggered an updated that always put the text into "Bold" mode.
So I took photos of the two states (this photos were taking seconds apart with only me moving the mouse around).

More information.
This issue seems to happen on the MacBook Pro (M2), but not on the MacBook Air.
Also I've tested more thoroughly and it seems that I don't need to change the graphics Interpolation level, all I need to do is to turn off "hardware acceleration", so at least for me there seems to be an issue with "hardware acceleration" on a MacBook Pro (M2).
More information. This issue doesn't seem to happen when the AVD window is on the laptop screen, only when it's on and external monitor (I don't have the multiple monitors setting enabled because I only want the AVD on the external monitor).
It seems to be much less flickery if I disable hardware acceleration.
My impression is that it aligning the pixel size for the window based on the resolution of the laptop screen even when the window is on the external monitor that has a different resolution and then it tries to scale the pixels to align and it looks clunky.
Also Changing the Graphics Interpolation level to "None" instead of "Auto" seems to help, everything looks quite a lot sharper.
If there isn't, I think there should be some clearer guidance when to use these settings for optimal affect. They're not intuitive and the defaults (at least in my case) or not good.
Why do we need graphics interpolation when we have dynamic resolution turned on? The resolution on the AVD should adjust to match the size of the window and the res of the screen it's on and there shouldn't be any need for interpolation should there?
