User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0

Steps to reproduce:

Updated Thunderbird from 78 to 91.

Actual results:

Got eye pain, dizziness, nausea...

I wish I knew what set it off, it's not animation or flashing this time, it might be a font rendering issue...

I can't search the message window to see what's off, because it hurts too much.

P.S. Also sinus and inner ear pain.

I tried to bibisect based on the severity of my pain. Got here, but I think it's a mistake:

The pain keeps coming and going.

Have you tried using the Thunderbird Dark theme?

Tools > Add-ons and Themes.

Component: Untriaged → Mail Window Front End
OS: Unspecified → macOS
Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64

I have an astigmatism, so I get halo effects around bright text, bright lights, etc.

It appears to be a duplicate of bug 1689845. The bibisect results are hazy at best. Turning off hardware acceleration is a clear improvement.

Thanks, let's dupe.
