I'm running Edge Dev (90.0.782.0) on a new M1 MacBook Pro, and it works great — with one annoying exception.
Every so often — sometimes maybe two hours apart, but sometimes every 10-20 minutes or so — all open Edge browser windows just go blank. Not just the rendering window — the tabs, the address bar, everything other than the macOS stoplight widgets at top left.
Sometimes it stays blank for only 3 or 4 seconds, but sometimes for 30 seconds or more. Then, with no intervention on my part, it comes back. The browser windows are "live" during the blanking — e.g., if I press command-t on my keyboard while it's blank, I'll have a new tab open when it returns.
I haven't been able to connect the behavior to any particular action on my part, and it persists across multiple Edge and Mac restarts. Any ideas?

Just to circle back on this — a month later this is still happening. The first hour-plus of using the browser is usually okay — but eventually the weird blanking I described comes back, with increasing frequency until I restart the browser.
It originally showed up on an M1 Mac in Edge Dev, but it also happens in Edge Stable and on a non-M1 iMac. It's a real pain, honestly. Is no one else having this problem?
