PDF reading encounters flashes of later content
when i read a pdf in zotero, it sometimes flashes and that's very annoying. i used my phone to record a video and saw that the flash was actually the content of the pdf itself, only that it's on the last few pages.
when i enter the troubleshooting mode, the flashes seem to disappear. if not in troubleshooting mode, flashes appear randomly while reading & when i minimize the window and then maximizes it & when i go to my library page and return to pdf.

here's the critical frame from the video. seeing an EEG cold brain flashing is really annoying and creepy.

in the Config Editor in the Advanced pane of the Zotero settings (which is one of the other things Troubleshooting Mode does) and restarting Zotero, but that will slow down graphics rendering in Zotero, so you shouldn't do that unless you can't fix it any other way.
