I just updated Brave to the latest version, based on Chromium 98, and
almost immediately noticed an odd problem that hadn't been there
before with Chromium 97.

Every time the browser window is re-displayed, it is resized smaller.
There’s a visible flicker when the window is displayed at the original
size and then redrawn smaller, by approximately twice the width of the
scroll bar, and the height is reduced by double that distance. The top
left corner remains in the same spot, the bottom right corner gets
moved inward every time the window is displayed.

This happens when I change to a different virtual desktop and then
switch back. But it also happens simply by minimizing the window and
restoring it.

I installed the latest Chrome-stable, too, and verified it's happening
there, so it would appear Chromium-related and not just a bug in
Brave. It also does not happen when switching desktops or minimizing
the window in Gnome.

I don't think this is related to the problem posted here a few
months(?) back about an off-by-16-pixels pointer focus in Chrome, i
think it was. The window is shrinking by more than 16 pixels, and
happens repeatedly. After switching desktops a few times, the browser
window becomes unusably small unless I keep resizing it back. But
given the problem at the time was found to be E not knowing how to
handle a combination of circumstances that shouldn't have happened to
begin with, could something similar be happening here?

Oh, and I also tried to use E's window lock settings, but they had no
effect. Well, other than to prevent me from resizing the window larger
again if i selected the User locks > size option.
