Hi
from time to time my MacBook Pro 16 enters a state where part of the screen are garbled. It happens with different apps like Chrome or Teams. This is an example with Chrome:
Rebooting seems to solve the problem at least for a while, but it consistently reappears after a few hours or days.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The issue is Chrome's GPU Rasterization. There is no fix but there is a workaround.
I had my screen erroneously replaced by Apple along with the connector ribbon before I figured this out. We (WebstationHQ) found that the issue was not uniformly affecting all content in Chrome which gave us the first clues. When using Chrome's dev tools, the garbled area was exclusively confined to the dynamic viewport rendering the website as shown below:
We tested our hypothesis by recreating this on Google Docs. Note that in this screenshot, the garbled content is confined to the static Google Docs toolbars.
