We don't usually take bug reports in work in progress branches, but I will leave to @Sebastián Barschkis (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.

@Steve Ernst (steveernst117) @Juan Gea (juang3d) Just tried to reproduce the issue but it seems to be fine now. Can you try it out as well?

@Sebastián Barschkis (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:

And here the same frame with noise turned on:

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

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