This happens because browser-use (which uses playwright) takes screenshot of current page (for creating gif). The default viewport for playwright is 1280x720. You won't see this twitching in the final agent_history_gif. But if you want to record screen using some other tool, then you could change the scale of our system display.

I had already disabled the agent_history_gif feature. this issue comes even if it is off or on.

Earlier screenshot was taken when use_vision flag was true, but due to this commit, it is being taken for all cases.

I'll try to find a solution for the flickering.

So will changing the version <0.1.33 fix this?
