We don't usually take bug reports in work in progress branches, but I will leave to @sebbas to decide what to do here.
Thanks for reporting and testing the functionalities either way.

I can confirm I can reproduce the problem even at render time.

@steveernst117 @juang3d Just tried to reproduce the issue but it seems to be fine now. Can you try it out as well?

@sebbas Yeah, I can confirm the project file looks much better with newest official mantaflow build. Looks like they got the bug worked out.

I think I have an example file here that has the same issue but in an extreme form, hope it helps with hunting down the bug.

Here the simulation without noise:
noise_off.png

And here the same frame with noise turned on:
noise_on.png

How to reproduce: Open attached file and bake twice, once with noise disabled and once enabled:

rocket_manta_01.blend

I have exactly the same problem. Looks terrible, especially with fast moving flames.

Mantaflow (fluid simulator) has no active developer at the moment. Moving those bugs as known issues so at least other users can find their issues already reported.
