Theme: Jittery icons in Microsoft Edge browser

[swelljoe]

In MS Edge (all versions I've tested), the icons are jittery when scrolling in any page that has icons and is big enough to have a scroll bar. They bounce around, change colors, and do other weird stuff. I dunno exactly what is going on with it. Best example I can find is Webmin Configuration page; because it has a lot of icons, there's plenty of jumpiness.

Edge has smallish, but growing market share.

I will consider providing workaround for Edge browser.

Joe,

I just fixed familiar issue #509 and it think this is tightly related. Expected to be fixed in 18.20.

Thanks for reporting! ;)

Version 18.20 is out, please upgrade.

I was very frustrated to find out that my new physical installation of Windows 10 had jittery icons all over the places as well, in all browsers, unlike virtual machine.

It's actually happened to be known issue of Font Awesome with certain scaling.

There are fancy workarounds, and I have finally fixed it, and it looks good now in Windows as well.

Example of how it was before and after update (screenshot taken from Firefox).

It's a huge difference. I personally don't like the way fonts are rendered in Windows at all. Linux with Gnome does it many times better, not mentioning MacOS where everything looks candy-like!
