Chrome(ium) cannot keep up with new window resizing behavior

[Ingo Gerth]

Some applications are too slow to keep up with the new window resizing behavior. This makes the whole process look ugly, because the window gets filled with the black background from the window decoration.

I suspect this happens with those applications that need to re-render something that takes time, in this case, websites. Is it possible to revert to the old behavior for such programs?

See attached video for a demonstration.

very very annoying.

makes me think like a Nvidia GTX770 can do heavy games but can't render a webpage in time
