Parts of windows often flicker transparent briefly, and occasionally windows get "stuck" w/ portions transparent

Project Member Reported by w...@chromium.org, Apr 5 2016

Issue description

Version: 51.0.2694.1
OS: ChromeOS

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Use ChromeOS for some time; my uptime is 3 days, and I have three Chrome windows, three app windows and multiple tabs in each Chrome window.
(2) Tap on different tabs & windows, to focus them.

What is the expected output?

Expect that they immediately re-render to be focused.

What do you see instead?

Instead the Chrome tab-strip, especially, tends to flicker transparent, briefly, before re-rendering normally.

I've also seen instances where Chrome Apps open up and then when some other window is opened while their content is still loading, then part of the first app window ends up rendered transparent, until that window is next re-composited, e.g. because it becomes focused, or is moved.

Currently observing this on M51 dev-channel, but it's been happening for weeks, so I think it regressed in M50.

FYI, adding a screenshot of the window that _always_ seems to get "stuck" partially transparent on my device - it's a separate "developer mode" window spawned by the Hangouts chrome app.

Comment 6 by vmp...@chromium.org, Apr 12 2016

It looks related. wez@ can you check crbug.com/593449 to see if it looks like the same issue or verify whether the patches in there fix the issue?

Comment 7 by w...@chromium.org, Apr 12 2016

Yes, that looks like the same issue; sounds like next dev-channel push
should resolve this?

Comment 8 by enne@chromium.org, Jun 6 2016

wez: is this fixed?

Comment 9 by w...@chromium.org, Jun 6 2016

Sorry, I stopped using that version of the Hangouts client, so I'm not sure if this will still repro.
