Text input problems in Google Vertex AI Studio interface

I’m having trouble with the Vertex AI Studio interface when I try to type longer text prompts. The editor keeps showing weird display glitches where the text gets jumbled up and appears to vibrate or move around on screen. I’ve tested this on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge but the same thing happens everywhere.

The syntax highlighting seems to break down when I write prompts that are more than a few sentences long. Text lines start overlapping each other and sometimes characters appear duplicated. This makes it really hard to work on complex prompts.

Has anyone else run into similar display issues with the Vertex AI Studio text editor? I can’t find a way to contact Google support about this bug. Any workarounds or solutions would be really helpful.

This rendering issue drove me crazy for months until I figured out it’s tied to browser font smoothing. Toggle ClearType on Windows or font smoothing on Mac - fixed my character duplication completely. Also try incognito mode for longer prompts. Cached rendering data builds up and makes text jump around. Fresh browser session clears that mess. The dev team knows about these editor problems. Recent updates helped a bit, but complex prompts still break things. My go-to workaround now: write in VS Code with syntax highlighting off, then copy over in smaller pieces.

I’ve hit this exact bug with Vertex AI Studio. The text editor’s rendering is trash with longer content.

Try changing your browser zoom to 90% or 110% instead of 100%. Sounds random but it fixes the overlapping text most of the time.

Also clear your browser cache and kill any extensions that might interfere with text rendering. Grammarly screwed me over like this once.

For complex prompts, I write them in a plain text editor first, then copy-paste into Studio. Not ideal but beats fighting the glitchy interface.

Google’s enterprise support is basically non-existent for Studio issues. I’ve submitted bug reports through their feedback form but never got a response. Since the product’s still in development, these UI bugs are pretty common unfortunately.

Had this same issue for weeks - turns out it’s browser hardware acceleration causing it. Disable that in your browser settings and restart. Fixed the text vibration and character overlap completely for me. Also try switching Studio’s theme if there’s options, or mess with your display scaling. 125% scaling on Windows was terrible - 100% or 150% worked way better. For quick fixes on long prompts: break them into smaller pieces first. Test each chunk separately, then combine. The editor handles gradual building much better than dumping huge text blocks at once.
