I noticed lately that watching some Youtube videos full-screen results in a noticable flicker. I don't see a flicker viewing the same videos on the same machine with Mojave's Safari.

Here is a video capture from my (very old) phone:

Note that Stats for Nerds needs to be off and I've only noticed the flicker in full-screen mode with the player controls hidden (i.e. with the cursor off to the side so they autohide). The flicker appears to be some interaction with the autohide/autodimming.

I have not seen this flicker when viewing the same content with Orion under Catalina but that's also a different hardware/configuration (retina laptop screen versus external 1080p TV)

I expected the video to play in full-screen similar to Safari on the same machine and generally with no flicker not in the content.

I've tried to enable compatibility mode, but it does not solve the problem. The problem does not appear in Firefox... although maybe i should try Safari too, since Orion is based on Webkit

Steps to reproduce:

Open Github and login
Open a pull request
Type into issue title or main textfield

Reproducible: Yes, every time.

Expected behavior:
Being able to to type with no apparent lag

Actual behaviour
Every time I type, hundreds of errors are fired into the console and the field freezes for a second or so.
The same happens when I type into the issue main field.

Steps to reproduce:
Unfortunately I have not found a way to reproduce this behavior, it just started happening a few versions ago.
I have tried various things to fix it, except resetting the browser or reinstalling.

The things I've tried so far:

Opening a new window instance with a clean profile
Re-launching Orion

Any ideas how i can fix this, as a last resort, I could try to reinstall or use the "reset Orion" button but i'd like to avoid that.

As you can see in the video, it's not just a graphical artifact, all the duplicated instances work.

Expected behavior:
Only having one icon of the sidebar appearing, regardless of it being expanded or not.

Actual behavior:
Seeing multiple instances of the expand/collapse sidebar button as well as dropdown menu.
