Expected Behavior

In previous versions of OBS, I would have OBS Studio on my second monitor to keep an eye on chat/change the game.

Current Behavior

The OBS window except for the chat, viewfinder, and activity list strobes excessively. I cannot change stream settings either. It was bad enough to cause a seizure.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Have the OBS new update on second monitor
  2. Open League and have it go into game
  3. Tab out to check something then it strobes
    ...
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. First reproduce on Windows 10 with OBS Studio 28.0.1, a second monitor, and League open, then capture diagnostic logs; done means the OBS window no longer strobes and stream settings remain usable.
