Hi,Thanks for the report. In general it's helpful to know if you're running wayland or X, and your desktop environment.
138 does seem a bit buggier than 137, and so far they haven't really backported many fixes from 139. I'll keep an eye on this. There's a bug with Skia Graphite enabled that might be what you're seeing:
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/428802472Going to chrome://gpu will tell you if Skia Graphite is enabled or not. On my end it is disabled, and I don't see any artifacts. If it is enabled, please try --disable-skia-graphite and report back.

X-Debbugs-Cc: t...@security.debian.org package: chromium Version: 138.0.7204.49-1~deb12u1 severity: important The latest chromium security update now renders many pages with annoying visual artefacts - lwn.net, salsa.debian.org, gmail.com -- mainly when using (moving or clicking) the mouse i tried downgrading to 135.0.7049.95-1~deb12u1 but that version then refused to start (i suppose some setttings are incompatible) . do i need to do something else to make the downgrade work? i note my android phone has a lower version, 137, which seems to be in stable-proposed-updates , so maybe 138 is a bad version? (if you want to know what graphics card is used the please let me know how to find that out - i expect it is intel of some kind. arch is amd64) thank-you for maintaining chromium, it normally works great!
