Steps to Reproduce

1. Make a Browser Source
2. Switch scene
3. Switch back to the original scene

Anything else we should know?

Happens in both in the obs-studio-browser AUR package (with plugins) but I installed the flatpak to check with no plugins and it happens in the flatpak too. Refreshing the browser source does fix it but in my production setup I can't be doing that.

Missing step, browser hardware accel is to be disabled to reproduce.

Ah yes sorry forgot about that, for me having browser hardware accel enabled just completely breaks browser sources.
