After updating Google Chrome browser to the latest 15.0.874.106 version (under Windows 7), my site is experiencing some weird flickering bug.
The text shadows are displaying completely wrong, the text itself is fuzzy and unclear, some parts of code don't work anymore (e.g. right floating, fixed menu)... etc.
For a couple of seconds the site is displayed fine, then it flickers all of the sudden (while still loading) and then the rendering gets messed up. (I think it has maybe some problems with loading of Google Maps v3)
The funny thing is that the old version of Chrome (before updating, on my other computer) is still displaying the site without any problems, and there haven't been any changes in the code in the meanwhile.
In other browsers (as i said, even in the old chrome) everything is OK. Firebug and Chrome's code inspector (CTRL+SHIFT+J) don't show any errors in the code. I have been doing some digging on the Internet and here as well, and I havent't found anything useful.

Thanks in advance.
I have done same settings changes as mentioned above post and now, that weird flicker got stopped, below are the details....
Open Chrome Browser
Click on Settings menu option
Click on Advance setting link in Settings page
Un-Check "Use Hardware acceleration when available" checkbox
Restart you chrome browser
Happy Browsing....... :)
Also make sure to disable not only accelerated-compositing, but also accelerated-2d-canvas.
This is how I start google-chrome on Linux:
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U --user-data-dir=/root --disable-accelerated-compositing --disable-accelerated-2d-canvas
On Windows, you might want to omit
--user-data-dir=/root
Josip Filipović apology where to do that (in Win7 by entering -disable-accelerated-compositing in properties > target field) that part disables hardware acceleration.

I am working on a weather visualization project using Mapbox (3 panes are locked together and one is for navigation, it's hard to explain until you see the link.)
Before I continue, I will post a link to the web app I am discussing here, so you can see it. My code is a MESS, and I am aware of that, but I believe this is a browser issue.

In Edge and Firefox, the fullscreen and navigation buttons work fine. In Chrome, they do not work... the fullscreen button gets the browser stuck until you press escape (and doesn't render properly anyway!). And, in fact, chrome does not even display the navigation button at all.
Is there a way to get these buttons to show up and function as they do in firefox and edge? Or, maybe an alternate button? I am attaching a screenshot of how the page should look.
I should note, I can live without the fullscreen buttons, but I need the navigation button option to be working in chrome. This really is a must for my project, so even if there's another link or button I could place over it to activate it somehow, it's fine as long as it works. I am not good enough with JS to understand what may be causing this issue after 2 hours of research.
From https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/#geolocatecontrol:
Not all browsers support geolocation, and some users may disable the feature. Geolocation support for modern browsers including Chrome requires sites to be served over HTTPS. If geolocation support is not available, the GeolocateControl will not be visible.
I have tried pretty much every which way to configure the Google Invisible reCAPTCHA widget, but there is always an issue with the latest Firefox browser, detailed as follows:
add the plugin to a web page, which has other JS such as a dropdown menu
load the web page
keep loading the web page over and over, in an attempt to catch it 'half loaded'
eventually you will see for a split second an alert "The page at https://www.google.com says: Cannot contact reCAPTCHA. Check your connection and try again"
from now on, JavaScript is entirely broken until you restart the Firefox window
This never happens in Chrome, and appears to be Firefox only. I am surprised to not find any reports of this major issue with vendors Google and Firefox (unsure which party is to blame), so created this ticket.
This issue can be replicated on the official Google Invisible reCAPTCHA Demo by quickly reloading the page. This will eventually show the alert and break the entire demo, making all form inputs unresponsive until the Firefox window is closed and re-opened.
At the time of writing, I am using OSX Firefox 57.0.1 (64-bit) to replicate this issue, but has also been replicated on the same Firefox under Windows 10.
Update after valid comment from Federico, as this is being reported a lot but no solutions or workarounds that I can find: Google Groups Search
Is this a known issue and are there any plans to resolve from either Firefox or Google, or more importantly has anybody managed to put a workaround in place in the meantime?
I think the issue is resolved now. Try again and it is giving successful verification. I guess it was a bug which they fixed. If the problem still persists please try upgrading Firefox to the latest version.
Chrome itself appears to work fine but I'm having problems with Developers Tools. After a short period of time it becomes unresponsive and the following dialog pops up...
Is this a known bug, can or will it be fixed soon? Also, the meantime what should I do, how can I roll back to older working version of Chrome?
I use Chrome and Developer Tools extensively and this is causing a major headache, so any advise would be welcome.
It is a known bug that got pushed with v32. I have not seen anything about fixing it yet though.
It happens with any model window (which includes devtools) or when Chrome is running in app mode.
Chrome isn't actually crashing and you can still continue to use it, but that will continually pop up with devtools open.
The issue has been fixed as of today's (1/28/2014) update. Version: 32.0.1700.102 m
I started getting this problem as well.
In searching, I came across this issue: "Page(s) Unresponsive" error messages in 32+.
As best I figured out, the bug is related to:
Windows 7/8 with Aero Theme
Scrollbars on pages (such as in the developer console)
Pages with popups (in particular Window.open() calls)
I guess they are slated to push the fix into version 33...and maybe leave the stable* 32 how it is (I hope not).
So there are a few options:
Switch away from Aero Theme until version 33 is in stable
Upgrade to the beta channel, i.e. version 33
Click on the Wait button every 30 seconds whenever the chrome developer tools is open (Don't try this at home).
Update:
Chrome has released a hotfix into the version 32 stable channel.
The issue is resolved in Chrome Canary 34.0.1799.0. Read more:
Issue 335248: "Page(s) Unresponsive" error messages in 32+
#elewinso, Alternate place to look for the same registry key to disable Chrome autoupdate is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Google\Update..
Also, is there a way I can get notified when the next update happens? or, when can I remove this key?
upgrade chrome to Version 32.0.1700.102 m this fixes the problem
An alert/prompt called from chrome extension background pake is shown off the screen (or partially in top left screen). This bug has been fixed in canary build by now, see
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=113899 , but I need to get it working as soon as possible. Do you have any ideas how to work this around using javascript?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm talking about this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jfiakckbklmccchjegnnojbalafebakb
You can't position the alert or prompt dialogs in browsers. You have to wait for the bug fix to propagate to the stable branch.
An alternative option is to inject an HTML lightbox into the current tab but that would be a lot of additional work.
One way to go is to further investigate the canary source code, found at the Chromium project on Google Code.
The issue is reported on the Chromium issues page, and the fix seem to be found at this revision on the Chromium sources.
You can check out the diff and compile a workaround based on their solution.
I am not interested in some program that I have to pay for, but I really need a way to debug my website in Internet Explorer.
The url is http://www.tombarrasso.com/final/
The issue with IE's built in debugger is that my webpage crashes IE if you open three scrollers and click the right arrow. In Safari and Firefox all is well, not terribly fast but not terribly slow. But IE completely freezes and crashes, which ruins my chance of using the built in profiler. It is getting to the point I am about to put a message for all IE users telling them to go elsewhere, but I would like to get the site to work because everything else even works in IE6 (crazy).
Try Firebug Lite
And on a side note I would recommend changing your color scheme, it isn't easy on the eyes. Here is another resource that could help you with that. Color Scheme Designer
