Last modified: 2016-10-04 07:36:04 UTC
I have a big bug on gnome after lauching google-chrome-stabe. It happen particulary when I put chrome in fullscreen to watch a video. After that when I press super, the top of the chrome window stay in transparency. It stay also in transparency on everything and in GDM too. The only way to stop the problem is to shutdown properly the computer after have closed google chrome. I tried a lot of gtk theme to see if the bug came from that and it happens on every themes. Funny fact: the screen capture is not affected by the bug!
What gpu/drivers are you using? Does this still happen if you start chrome with --disable-gpu ? Also, can you post a picture (a phone picture is fine) ?
I use GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile GL_VERSION = 3.0 Mesa 11.2.1 GL_VENDOR = Intel Open Source Technology Cent for my driver. And the bug disapear when I use --disable-gpu :) For the picture I tried but we see nothing on it :/
Created attachment 336837 [details] chome fullscreen transparency bug This may not exactly be the same issue, but it seems to be a transparency issue with chrome on GDM/Gnome. Here is some GPU info, not sure what is relevant. client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI client glx version string: 1.4 Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086) Device: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2) (0x1916) Version: 12.0.3 OpenGL: 3.0 Mesa 12.0.3 I am also running nouveou with my 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940M] (rev a2) This issue does not get resolved by running disable-gpu. I can tell it must be a transparency issue because when it's full screen I can still click on links on the transparent parts of the window. If I uninstall chrome it fixes this issue but it has come back several times. Also I can disable chrome system styles and borders and it'll let me full screen the window. Let me know if I should submit a different ticket or you need more information. I didn't see much info in my journalctl and I didn't see any files in /var/log/gdm. I am running fedora 24, 64-bit and I just installed it so everything is clean.
I think this is a chrome bug, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=641318#c20 . *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 771192 ***
