Is your Arch machine virtual (running on a host OS) or is it a physical machine? I ask because Virtualbox video drivers can often introduce flaky behavior/artifacts where WebEngine is concerned. Epubs used to render upside down in Sigil's Preview when 3D acceleration was enabled in the video driver settings for the guest machine in Virtualbox.

Basically, I'm trying to determine what is different between our machines. We've got virtually identical builds of Sigil 1.9.10 on Arch Linux, so video hardware/drivers is about the only thing left that I can think of. The fact that other chrome-based renderers are exhibiting the same behavior lends credence to the notion of there being some issue with chromium/WebEngine and your video card/drivers.
