Screen tearing is almost always a driver issue.

I checked, GeForce Game Ready Driver 451.67 is the highest version, from 7/9/2020.

I also rebooted but was same issue.

MapTool does have some settings that are used to help debug graphics-related issues. It can't hurt to try them to see if they make any difference.

Click "Edit", then "Preferences", then click on the "Startup" tab. You might try checking the "Disable Direc3d Pipeline", "Enable OpenGL Pipeline", or "Initialize AWT before javaFX" check boxes (one at a time). If I recall correctly, you need to restart MapTool after you change one of those before the change takes effect.
