Pages vanish/re-render without warning sometimes on Linux

Reported by axfe...@gmail.com, Apr 20 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.7 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a long article in recent Chrome on Linux
2. Scroll around, open a new tab, go back to article
3. Article may eventually go all white, and you can sometimes scroll around to get the page to re-render itself, or you'll have to refresh manually

What is the expected behavior?
Not this

What went wrong?
This used to happen on Chrome for Linux a while ago, and I think it was fixed, then re-broken again recently.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.7  Channel: n/a
OS Version: Arch/Ubuntu
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0

Verified on both Chrome 50 (Ubuntu 16.04, Nvidia) and local builds of Chromium 51 (Arch, Intel), using different combinations of one-copy/zero-copy/force-raster, and it seems to happen no matter what.
 
Can you check chrome://discards to determine if Tab Discarding caused the issue? If the tab was discarded, can you confirm by disabing Tab Discarding in chrome://flags and relaunching Chrome?

Neither the chrome://discards URL nor the Tab Discarding flag seem to be available on the Linux build(s) I have...
51.0.2704.7 appears to be outdated. Can you try updating Chrome to its latest and greatest version by opening chrome://chrome and relaunching? Thanks.
