(Chrome-based?) applications having display problems

[Michał]

Please see the attached screenshot.

Recently Chrome and the desktop Spotify client (which I believe is Chromium-based) are having trouble displaying their contents, especially in low-memory situations. When I restart Chrome and open only a few tabs it behaves ok, but when I get into a 2 profiles, 10+ tabs situation it starts behaving badly. On very low memory situations it keeps trying to refresh the display and is not usable at all.

All other apps are fine. I'm using 2 DVI + 1 HDMI displays.

Hello,

we need more information. Which fgrlx version did you use? Which chrome version did you use? Which graphic card did you use?

Thank you, for your information.

Graphics Card - Radeon R7 260X using fglrx-updates extra driver
Chrome - 42.0.2311.90 unknown (64-bit)
fglrx-updates - 2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2

Thank you for your help.

Also, it does not affect Flash widgets within a web page.

One more thing, I'm not having the same problems with neither the open-source driver nor the standard fglrx driver, only with fglrx-updates and they've only started recently. Hence I'm not sure it's a Chrome problem.
