Display Issue - Horizontal blue lines in application windows

As you can see from the image below I have blue horizontal lines appearing within my Chrome application window

2019 Macbook Pro 16

The application is the latest build of Chrome Version 80.0.3987.163 (Official Build) (64-bit)

It has happened 3 times now - each time appear to be after the laptop has been left running overnight.

Not it is not the full display affected only the application window. I've also only seen this in the chrome browser (I've also posted this to the Chrome support site) it sometimes goes away simply by killing Chrome but this time required a reboot.

Anyone seen this before - got any ideas??

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

This isn't a good solution. My Mac should work. This problem happens in Brave browser as well as Chrome for me.

Those are all electron based applications so basically Chrome. Please if you want to add application to the list check if it's electron-based first. Thanks!

I have this problem in Big Sur also. Any solution yet?

I am working with WebGL and need the HW acceleration.

Same thing for me. I have super expensive dongles, the problem happens with different dongles and external monitors, and also without any external monitor.

Same thing with me. Logic board replaced. Problem came back after a couple of weeks.

This is just so sad.

I knew I was going to jinx it by posting... It's back. Restart, zapping NVRam and I’m good to go again.

I'll submit another ticket today. My last one went into the support ticket black hole where Apple support just drops the ticket and stops helping.

Ok, I'm very happy to report that it's stopped happening for me. I'm not sure why, but I know I’m a very happy Apple customer again! :-)
