ArcGIS Javascript API 4.29 SearchWidget causes jagged lines around curves
Accepted Solutions
This may not be an issue specific the Search widget since the same behavior can be observed without it. It seems to be a matter of zooming in on a FeatureLayer several levels at once. For example, below are some roads that appear this way after zooming from level 16 to level 19.
Here's what it looks like a second or two later after it refreshes:
This is the result of a tradeoff the SDK makes for efficient operation. When rendering a feature layer, it requests a generalized (i.e. less detailed) copy of the features' geometry that will still appear the same at the scale you're viewing, while sending less data over the network. For example, my roads looked fine at level 16; it wasn't until I viewed that same geometry at level 19 that it appeared less detailed. Once zoomed in, the SDK retrieved the same features again, but at a level of detail suitable for level 19.
You might consider disabling this generalization, but you may notice a significant drop in performance.
