1649216 - Text sometimes flashes when scrolling down on YouTube

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, defect, P3)

Description

I often encounter flashing text that I didn't encounter with non-WebRender. One scenario where this happens is on YouTube (doesn't reproduce consistently):

1. Click on a YouTube video and watch for a bit.
2. Scroll down to the comments.

Expected results:
Once the comments are loaded, the text should be stable.

Actual results:
The comments are visible briefly, then part of the comments text (I think it's the bold user name portions?) becomes briefly invisible, and then the text becomes visible again.

I'll try to catch a video of this. It looks rather glitchy.
