Ask HN: Does anyone else occasionally get a weird orange area on HN?

I occasionally get it, but whenever a resize event happens, it dissapears, soopening devtools causes it to dissapear, while opening the source code isn't helpful either. Here's a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/CYPUA7z.png

This is not specific to HN. It is has something to do with browser rendering. I also noticed same on YouTube few times. Something to do with chromium rendering, but seems like this isn't common hence it does not have official name yet. Maybe a good time to name it? :-)

Nope, never noticed it.

Maybe you've been selected to take part in one of @Dang's experiments!

I highly doubt it, as HN doesn't do A/B testing as far as I am aware.

And it only shows up rarely but has done so for quite a while now.

Email dang, he always replies when I've asked weird questions similar to this one xD

Good point. Will do so after getting home from work.
