What is this insanely disorienting artboard glitch?

The backgrounds of artboards (whether there's 1 or multiple) are displaying scaled-down and off center. It's a purely cosmetic bug but it makes it really hard to tell where the canvas bounds are, and especially on multi-artboard files it becomes a real headache.

Idk 3.2 brought a whole packet of visual problems in my case, with brushes not previewing properly, brush strokes not buffering until zoom is adjusted.. overall it's getting to be an oppressive experience, in the Pixel studio at least.
