google maps window is all black

[Andrew Sharp]

Navigate to maps.google.com on chromium-browser. All is fine. Type in an address. The map of the address is displayed for just a moment, maybe a half second, then the entire window goes black, except for the inset windows. If you click on "street view", the same thing happens: for just a moment, you see the street view, then blackness. Embedded maps in web sites seem to work. This was all working fine before the last update to chromium. Back in August and September I was using google maps almost every day.

On my system, this is 100% reproduceable. It behaves this way no matter what I've tried, including rebooting.

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 1384459

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.
