|Workaround=Unknown, switching to software mode with F9 might help, but this causes other more major issues (see above).
|Workaround=The Issue has been fixed on the latest nightly build, PR that fixed it was 11028. (Loading a savestate or changing from hardware to software will make the issue re-appear)
Note: For older versions like 1.6 there is no fix.
