Weird Green Artefacts on Images in Big Sur

[Silicon-Surfer]

Has anyone else seen this issue? I think it started happening after I first installed Big Sur (beta back then) on my 2014 15" MacBook Pro. A diagonal series of green rectangles across images. This happens to some images on random web pages, if I do a Google image search I will likely see a few like this, and today I saw it on an image in a PDF in Preview. Closing the page and reloading, or following the link to the full size image will usually get rid of them, but I don't know why I'm seeing them in the first place.

I've done some searching online and a few people report seeing them in iCloud image previews etc, but I'm seeing them in more places than that.

These are a couple of examples from a Google image search in Safari:

You are not alone. I'm encountering some of these same artifacts on Google image searches and on some Amazon product images. I previously saw them when something happened to corrupt some photograph thumbnails on my Apple Photos library, which I fixed by redownloading the image.

My system is a Late 2013 iMac that has been patched to Big Sur. It only happens to an occasional image, so the system is otherwise working well. I have no solutions, but perhaps you can take comfort in the fact that you're not alone. And I hope my reply generates a response explaining our problem.

We'll I'm glad to know it's not just me! I'm sure it's something to do with Big Sur, as I didn't have this issue before that, but none of the updates so far have fix it.
