Text in Gutenberg UI intermittently appears blurry in Chromium-based browsers #80996
Text in Gutenberg UI components occasionally becomes blurry in Chromium-based browsers (Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge). The issue is intermittent and affects the readability of menu items and labels. Firefox renders the same UI correctly.
Expected Behavior
All text should remain sharp and consistently rendered throughout the editor.
Actual Behavior
Text in some Gutenberg UI components becomes blurry intermittently in Chrome and Microsoft Edge, while Firefox renders the text correctly.
This issue may reduce readability and could negatively impact accessibility and visual comfort during extended editing sessions.

👋🏻 The labels have updated their styles since #80093
In your screen recording, it looks like it's using the older, styles (not bold).
Also, it might be worth checking clear type settings if you're running windows.

I believe this is the same issue reported in #76899.
