Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Scroll in chat

### Hardware acceleration/GPU

Hardware acceleration does not affect it, but the issue is significantly worse with it off.
Likewise, GPU model does not affect it between AMD or Nvidia.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
Normal scrolling.
#### What happened instead?
Scrolling is stuttery, slow, and causes lots of screen tearing and visual artifacts.

### Operating system

Windows 11/Windows 10

### Application version

Element version: 1.11.101

### How did you install the app?

Official Windows installer

### Homeserver

_No response_

### Will you send logs?

Yes

### Additional info

This behavior is not present on my other Windows 11 install with version 1.11.99. It seems that either .100 or .101 introduced it.

To confirm, the moment I updated my outdated .99 install to .101, the issue showed up on that computer too.

Especially watch the top left corner.
