Font issues in light theme.
Bug
When using app in light theme, the font seems to be bugged as if it was rendering twice over with an offset.
This is on arch’s yaak-bin package. This issue also exists on AppImage version.

Wow, this is very strange. My guess is the sidebar’s use of transparency is triggering rendering to switch between GPU and CPU, which can have slightly different render behaviors on some platforms.
Can you try something for me?
Right-Click > Inspect, then add
translate3d(0, 0, 0)to the styles of the HTML element?I’m not sure if that will apply to all children or not, but it should force all rendering to be done on the GPU instead of CPU.
I am surprised you were able to diagnose that so quickly and accurately. I had a similar issue on something I was working on before and grinding my head for days before figuring out that was the cause. I think it’s related to performance settings set in the system sometimes, like system-wide anti-aliasing for fonts etc.
I’m not actually sure if the diagnosis is correct for this case. But, I fixed a similar issue recently where the app icons moved slightly when hovering, because I was toggling a transparent background (forces GPU rendering).
