hovering over text weirdness

Hi guys, I am experiencing this weird display of fonts when hovering over these options in vscode:

Screenshot-from-2023-03-03-09-22-47.png

it happens also on some websites, the fonts I am using are:
Sans: SF-Pro
Serif: New York
Monospace Jetbrains Mono
Legacy: SF pro display regular

do you have any clue about what might be causing this issue?

Re: hovering over text weirdness

while this is not happening anymore in vscode, It looks like the issue is not present if disabling hwAcceleration in brave

Re: hovering over text weirdness

looks like the issue is connected to the zoom level and font size, in vscode reducing the font size the issue is not present, in brave, zooming out at 90% fixes it as well

Re: hovering over text weirdness

So you're hovering "catalogo" and that somehow bleeds into "dirette tv"?
It's an ugly flex layout, but the element really only changes the alpha on hover.

Still related the hw acceleration?
What's the content of "about:gpu"?

were you able to reproduce? yes it's related to hardware acceleration.
also, if I open vscode settings I try to lookup some setting, on the the filtered settings the same behaviour happens on hover.

this is the about://gpu output

Canvas: Hardware accelerated
Canvas out-of-process rasterization: Disabled
Direct Rendering Display Compositor: Disabled
Compositing: Hardware accelerated
Multiple Raster Threads: Enabled
OpenGL: Enabled
Rasterization: Hardware accelerated
Raw Draw: Disabled

Vulkan: Disabled
WebGL: Hardware accelerated
WebGL2: Hardware accelerated
WebGPU: Disabled

No, but this isn't an intel IGP.
