Scrambled words

I'm having a weird rendering issue. When I first opened the wiki page everything just load as fine but when I change to other tab and return there is certain parts of texts is scrambled. 

When I highlighted the texts in question then everything back to normal. But if I change tab and return again the same sections will be scramble again. 

Another one but worse

 

I gonna ask is there anyone with similar issue?

    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)

      It seem to only affects wikipedia articles, and curiously only train-related articles.
