Inputting text occasionally lags, rolls back visually, then follows steps to correct state. #33610

Description

Sometimes when I write text in Brave, (can be text field, can be address bar) the text being input bugs out. It behaves something like this:

Input What I see
tes tes
testi testi
testin test
testin tes
testing test
testing testi
testing testing

The bug seems mostly visual - it's disorienting, but if I'm sure I've written things correctly, the browser ends up in the correct state, I feel at least. But it's hard to say since I usually stop typing when it occurs and let the browser catch up.

The distinctive thing about this is that it isn't just the visuals being laggy. The text actually rewinds itself backwards a little before replaying to catch up in full, which feels like some kind of consistency check noticing a discrepancy and fixing things in a more noticeable than intended way.

Steps to Reproduce

No repro, issue is intermittent and feels random.

Actual result:

See description up top.

Expected result:

Text input behaves normally and doesn't rewind back and forth

Reproduces how often:

Intermittent, feels random / haven't figured out situations where it feels like it occurs most.

I am experiencing this exact same thing as of the last few weeks/month.

I have been getting this as well on a newly built PC, running Windows 11.
Works fine on my previous PC which was running Windows 10, however.
There are some significant hardware differences between the two computers. I am happy to provide any information you may find helpful in resolving this.
