I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 19.10. I have an old Nvidia card which
relies on the 340 drivers, so I cannot use Wayland.

I can launch Chromium browser ok, but then, after what seems like an
interdeterminate period of time, new "things" will fail to render in the
interface, and the only solution is to killall chrome.

When the issue kicks in, existing webpages are fine, but following fail:
* Navigate to a new web page (tab is blank)
* Open a new tab (tab is blank)
* Open a new window (entire window is blank)

Chromium continues to respond to keystrokes, and you can see it loading
things in the status bar, just the display does not render. Killing
chromium and restarting it works until it happens again.

I understand this is vague and would appreciate information on how to
report problems with the chromium snap. apport tells me it can't do it,
because it's a snap. Am happy to supply additional info if it happens
again, as long as I know what I need to report.

I switched to the beta snap after experiencing the problem with the
stable snap.
