Description Berengal 2022-02-10 04:45:20 UTC 
SUMMARY
Text looks very aliased in the overview. There are tons of artifacts and sometimes entire lines disappear. This is especially visible if the screen is scaled down below 100%.

I notice this on my 1080p side monitor, on my 4K main monitor it's much harder to tell, but this is probably just the higher DPI.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Optionally set scaling to below 100%
2. Open the overview
3. Look at text

OBSERVED RESULT
Text looks aliased/unreadable.

EXPECTED RESULT
Text is rendered in the same quality as outside the overview.
