blank regions (tiles?) on reddit.com comment pages

Reported by m...@stevenkobes.com, Oct 5

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 69.0.3497.100
OS Version           : Linux, Windows
URLs (if applicable) : https://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/comments/9llxsf/job_growth_slumps_in_september_but_unemployment/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit a Reddit comment page with a lot of comments
2. Scroll around for a while.

What is the expected result?
No regions of missing content.

What happens instead of that?
Sometimes I see rectangular "bands" of missing content (see screenshot).

I have observed this several times over the last few weeks on both Linux and Windows.  It happens fairly often, but it's not consistently reproducible.  I haven't seen it on other websites.

Reddit comment pages have a large <div> scroller with forced compositing (#overlayScrollContainer).  The blank regions draw the solid background color behind the scroller, as if this <div> were hidden.

Mousing over the blank regions often makes parts of the content reappear, in chunks that look to be about the size of compositor tiles.  The page is otherwise responsive.

The contents of chrome://gpu are attached.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
