Unresponsive scroll on Macbook after low battery alert

Reported by pierbove...@gmail.com, May 5 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.36 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use your Macbook until the low battery alert comes up
2. Scroll becomes unresponsive

What is the expected behavior?
Scroll should be responsive

What went wrong?
Scroll started to lag 1 or 2 seconds after actually scrolling with 2 fingers on the trackpad and the scroll movement was not fluid.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.36  Channel: beta
OS Version: OS X 10.11.4
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

Thanks for your report. Over to tapted@ for scrolling. tapted@, Can you think of any reason this might happen?

Hm - it could be that the low battery kicks the macbook into a 'conserve power' state. A big part of the scrolling is handled on the GPU - GPU might look idle when it's not scrolling, and there's lag to bring it out of an idle state to scroll again.

This will be tricky to test.

I would compare the behaviour with Safari, for the same website. If we're significantly worse we should investigate further. But I suspect the behaviour will be similar.

Original reporter, does this also happen in Safari?

Marking Needs-Feedback.
This has never happened to me in other browsers.

Also I reinstalled OSX from scratch and switched to Canary and have never seen this issue again...
