Experimental GPU Acceleration causes rendering glitches in VS Code

[LeroyK111]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?:
No. I am confident that this issue is caused by GPU rendering. Disabling extensions does not affect the problem, but turning off "editor.experimental.gpuAcceleration" immediately resolves it.
