A software update on the Kindle appears to have broken RHP in the way described Thread 191986. (The screen is not repainting correctly)
I do have a test device now, and have been checking to see if this issue has been reverted their end with more recent updates - but I suspect now that is unlikely.
Can you let me know exact device you are using? (And have you been permitted firmware updates to the Kindle?)

I am using a Kindle "fire". It is very confusing because it seems to be the position on my games list rather than the individual game that causes a problem. For example, when I go to the games waiting list the first 15 or so games will display correctly but that the next 3 will be scrambled. When I finish one of those first games, the games that are scrambled simply moves down one spot. Also, when I use two fingers to resize the display (I am using "mini" board) if I do it just right the board appears correctly.
This just started happening in the last Month and I don't recall accepting any updates.
Thanks for the help,
Bob Mathews
@russ saidI have not seen any firmware updates from Amazon for my Fire ever. I have like 3 of them, and none of them has ever had a firmware update, only software updates.

My exact device model is a "Fire HD 10 (9th generation)".
Also, I am using "Fire OS 7.3.2.2"
Installed February 23, 2022, 8:41 AM.
Oooooh, I see I have 6 system component updates.
I'll get those updates now and post back here after.
@russ saidI also found out that the problem resides in the Silk browser.
I have isolated the cause of this - the Fire appears to have decided it no longer likes SVG graphics. ("Scalable Vector Graphics".)
edit : The Silk (Amazon's browser) developer's guide states full SVG support. 🤷♂️
I managed to find another browser (something called "My chromium" available for free in the Amazon app store for the Fire) and surfing RHP with this browser shows no screen-painting error.
This tells me the problem is the Silk browser.
Nice to hear you've narrowed it down to the Silk's problem with SVG. I'll mention this when I contact Amazon. No promises they'll listen.
