pages flicker a lot when hardware acceleration is enables

Reported by davidmax...@gmail.com, Mar 15 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.26 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. enable hardware acceleration (settings->show advanced settings->use hardware acceleration when available)
2. visit a web page
3. wait

What is the expected behavior?
consistently solid display

What went wrong?
page flickers constantly

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? Yes only noticed in the past week or two

Does this work in other browsers? Yes 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.26  Channel: beta
OS Version: ubuntu 15.10
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

workaround is to disable hardware acceleration option

especially noticeable with dev tools open

using a Lenovo X250 (1920x1080 version) on a doc with two external monitors (19210x1200/DVI and 2560x1440/DP, the latter is a new addition).

possibly similar to  bug 136054 ? I see lots of similar issues, though quite old; that's where I got the workaround from, and why I marked it as a regression.

I think I'm having the same problem with chromium 49 for Debian, using a 2560x1600 Macbook Pro 13 Retina (Intel Haswell/Iris). It looks to me like an issue when a site is causing high CPU usage; <http://medipen.co> is particularly bad.

I'm not seeing this bug in google-chrome-unstable (51.0.2687.0) so I think it's been fixed. But please get v51 into the stable channel, or backport whatever the fix is, if devs can isolate it [1].

[1] I would do a bisect, but I can't work out how with chromium's convoluted build system, or find a guide. Can anyone help with that?

Yes, this looks like a duplicate of issue 606152. Lenovo X250 has an Intel GPU which causes flickering when used with one-copy uploads.
