Instead of posting jpg (which is lossy and effectively introduces blur) please post screen captures as png (which is not lossy and will preserve the effect being described). There are a number of places where things could have gone wrong here, but it's not clear from the images in the report exactly what is actually being displayed due to compression artifacts from the jpg encoding. If you can post a few screen captures saved as png, it may be helpful. That being said, are you on a high resolution device? I've tried briefly reproducing with Canary 51.0.2703.0 and don't see anything out of the ordinary on the above sites. If you update the Canary does that change anything?

The problem has been solved. It actually turned out to be a data compression issue with the VPN I'm using. Thanks for your help.

I'm glad you figured out what was going on. I have to close this as 'WontFix', but I wish we had a closed status more like 'TurnedOutToBeSomethingElse'. I've had a few of those lately.

Well if anyone asks I'll be sure to attribute my issue correctly to my own stupidity vs. anything actually wrong with Chrome :). |
