@mjohn,
Thanks for reaching out.
On my end I’m not seeing these wavy lines — tested on both macOS and Windows systems. I’m wondering if you try the same thing while using a Private browsing window if you get the same results?
Thanks Mattches, I have tried it in Private but I just tried again and made sure I didn’t have any extensions that were allowed in Private mode, I even disabled the Brave Shield. Still see the issues. Here’s a screenshot.
I wonder if it’s a graphics card thing, but then again it works in the other browsers. This is really weird. It’s an NVidia 2060 on a Windows 10 machine in case anyone finds this thread and sees the same issues.
Aha moment, I just checked to see what graphics settings I could change. The problem disappears when I have Settings, System, Use hardware acceleration when available turned ON.
I usually have it off to allow more GPU power to my graphics applications, I seem to remember turning it off for another issue at some point. Either way, with it off, this seems to result in the problem. Edit: Remembered the issue, Brave flickers every now and then with Graphics Accelerator turned on which I remember being a reported issue, the fix was turn off Graphics Accelerator.
Do you see the same if you turn off “Use hardware acceleration when available?”
@mjohn,
Good sleuthing. Unfortunately HWA has been a tricky issue for us over the years. I personally do not see any bad effects from having HWA enabled but many users do. Typically, turning the setting "off " does not make much different while browsing, but there are some exceptions (such as online gaming or other graphics heavy sites, like what you’re seeing right now).
