Same here i took a screeshot. Also my friend is having this issue too.
This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

Thanks guys (& gals, if applicable). I found the "Zynga Game bar" add-on was causing the issue...
