Distorted text in canvases

more options

For some reason text rendered in canvases (used by Minecraft hostings to display console) is distorted. I'm not getting this behavior in other browsers (including Zen – Firefox fork). The issue persists in both stable and nightly versions, with and without hardware acceleration, in safe mode too. Any clues?

Chosen solution

Figured it out. It was due to strict content blocking (browser.contentblocking.category). Canvas renders fine if using the standard instead (toggle for fixing site issues in strict doesn't help).

Edit: in case someone stumbles upon this, Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection can be disabled on a per-site basis ([Support: What to do if a site seems broken]), no need to disable globally.
