Thanks Barry! ** Description changed: After pressing F11 there's a text box at the top of the screen with the message Press F11 to Exit, etc. Usually this goes away by itself after a few seconds. Now it flashes continuously and won't clear. Pressing F11 again quits full screen mode, but

Seeing that chromium and chrome appear to be similarly affected, this sounds like an upstream bug. Would you mind filing it at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list (upstream only cares about chrome, so use that to provide data for the bug), and sharing the link to it here? Thanks! --

Yes, there are still problems regardless of the command line switches, as long as "Settings/Use hardware acceleration ..." is turned on. (Go full screen and we have an unstable display with elements that flash or alternate between one position and another. Opening 'Help/Report an issue' also gives

Ok, so now your GPU isn't blacklisted anymore, regardless of the command-line switches. Does the bug with the fullscreen popover still manifest itself? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Here are the first sections of chrome://gpu output without and with --ignore-gpu-blacklist. The only difference is in Hardware Protected Video Decode which is 'Unavailable' in the first case and 'Hardware Accelerated' in the second. Note, also, that both of these lists are different to the output

glxinfo output is attached. I'm not routinely running anything that needs acceleration. I'm a musician/programmer so primarily audio and code, not even games come to think of it. I did do some work in Blender over a year ago, but I only used this machine for extra rendering work (using the CPU,

That output is from /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable (for the record). This is relevant: Problems Detected Gpu compositing has been disabled, either via blocklist, about:flags or the command line. The browser will fall back to software compositing and hardware acceleration will be unavailable.

That sounds like a graphics driver issue, maybe. To everyone affected, could you please open "chrome://gpu" in a new tab, save that web page and share it here? Thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Same here, it stared in Chrome maybe a week ago but now it also affects Chromium. In addition to that opening a new window results in a window that does not update its content, there is just snapshot of whatever was on the screen below the window. Usually maximize/restore fixes it. Ubuntu 20.04
