I'm seeing this too. Any workarounds you've found?

[IceSentry]

Right now, I simply disabled typechecking of external libraries. It's far from ideal, but at least I can still compile and run my code

This was likely caused by microsoft/TypeScript#44684 which seems to have removed the OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D and OffscreenCanvas types because they're only available in Chrome.

Was resolved in #9617
