I was seeing this odd bug where web page elements would momentarily — as in 1 frame out of 60 – disappear. At first I thought it was a React thing, but it turned out to be something I’d never previously seen.
LLMs love to put eye candy in a UX. Background animations, translucency, etc. It turns out that if there’s too much of that, particularly on older computers, the browser’s rendering compositor can’t keep up.
Per chatGPT:
“The eye candy appears to have overwhelmed or stalled the browser’s rendering compositor, causing a partially painted frame.”
You have to know what this is when you see it, because it happens too fast for (at least) the current chatGPT in-app browser to record it – so it will tell you wrong answers about what’s causing the bug when you describe it.
