[Daniele Castrovilli]

I've some rendering problem on my web-browser Chrome even on Chromium , but this bug is not present in Firefox and in any other web browser. The problem is present in some web pages such as, YouTube , Facebook.
I attached an image explaining a bit the problem, it's quite annoying.

Noticed that, if i install older versions of Chrom*, the problem won't appear so maybe it's a bug from newer versions of those browsers.
Hope you'll find this useful.

[Daniele Castrovilli (danielestrife)]

Tested only on this distribution.

[Daniele Castrovilli (danielestrife)]

Happen only on this browser, also in Chrome.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

I think this might relate to Bug #1459799

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

It would help us a lot if you could test on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once in a terminal:

apport-collect 1069315

and add any additional information that you think relevant. Alternatively, please confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the report. If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately two months time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
