The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Marking "confirmed". We got another report of what's probably the same thing in bug 1847809, with screenshot & screencast & performance profile over there.

From my experience seems that to reliably reproduce, you need to hold down Ctrl+O (or Ctrl+S) for a short while (on the order of like 0.5s, though longer will work too). If you release them too quickly, then the bug doesn't happen.
