Alberto Donato (ack) wrote : Chromium tabs freeze with two windows on different workspaces on Wayland

When using Chromium (snap) on Wayland (gnome-session), if I keep two windows open on different workspaces, sometimes the current tab becomes unusable as it freezes or is super-slow.

This usually happens with specific pages open, like youtube, mattermost, google drive.

Minimizing one of the two windows makes the other work fine.

The issues does not happen if both windows are on the same workspace.

I've seen this issue in 20.04 and 20.10, always on Wayland sessions. The same behavior doesn't happen on a plain X11 session.
