Chrome/Chromium glitch in Ubuntu 16.04

[indy]

I am experiencing glithces in Chrome and Chromium browsers under Ubuntu 16.04 (64 bit), as shown in the picture:

My browser versions are

- Chromium 53.0.2785.143 Built on Ubuntu
- Chrome 54.0.2840.100 (64-bit)
- Firefox 49.02

Firefox does not present this issue.

I have a

   VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09)

on a Thinkpad X250.

Solutions provided in http://askubuntu.com/questions/766725/annoying-flickering-in-16-04-lts-chrome (disable GPU acceleration) do not work.

The kind of glithces are *not* like this

Very rarely, the same effect appears while zooming FITS images using the saods9 package.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is this still an issue with Chromium 71.0, the currently supported version?
