torbrowser-launcher based TBB has a persistent GUI elements ghosting issue

Description

I'm now on the latest torbrowser-launcher and TBB release (updated the entire system right before writing this), and it's been an issue for a handful of months now that every time I launch the program the GUI does this hard to describe ghosting behaviour:

Elements overlay each other and persist as the GUI changing, building on top of each other to the point where they're incomprehensible after a few minutes of use.

Things I tried:

  • changing GTK theme back to default
  • trying a fresh user profile with no settings modified
  • trying to remove the launcher program + any related data as well as TBB then reinstalling

I've just tested the software in a clean Budgie installation and cannot replicate your issue, could you provide more details about your setup? The output of inxi -Fz would be great.

Edit0: Unable to reproduce on Plasma, MATE and GNOME as well, what is this TBB you speak of? Is it a Solus package? To clarify, I am trying to reproduce the artifacts on the torbrowser-launcher Solus package.

Edit1: Also launching torbrowser-launcher from a terminal and sharing the output would be nice.

To clarify, this is Budgie. And I'm using the torbrowser-launcher package from Solus repos.
