Just so we don't get too focused in on MS Windows---
I've seen this same effect in Desktop Chromium browser running on my Linux laptop (but not today). Since until very recently I didn't use Firefox routinely on my laptop, I can't say for sure the effect never occurred in it as well but I don't recall it happening.
I was never able to track down the cause and since it hasn't happened in any browser on my Android/iOS/iPadOS devices I haven't been motivated to do a deep dive. Until proven otherwise, I'm content to suspect x86 Chromium and its JavaScript engine are running into some sort of corner case. I have no reason to suspect hardware or network problems because of all the other stuff I do.
As for using the developer's console in either Chromium or Firefox, I always see various messages which usually look fixable (if you're a JS/CSS wiz, which I'm not) but they have never looked to me like a proverbial 'smoking gun'.
A few random examples from Chromium looking at a moOde 8.2.5 player (I added the #lines) this morning:
While from Firefox

PS - Mark, as a retired physicist I'm moved to ask, is there any relation to Paul Adrian Maurice Dirac, creator of the Dirac Equation for which he was awarded the 1933 Nobel Prize (shared with Erwin Schroedinger)?
