Fonts in Google Docs Menus are blurry in Chrome - fine in Edge (device specific)

Project Member Reported by tapted@chromium.org, May 15 2016 
Chrome Version       : 52.0.2737.0
OS Version: 10.0
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Edge 20.10240: OK
  Internet Explorer 11: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a google doc, open a menu

What is the expected result?

Clean fonts


What happens instead of that?

Blurry fonts


None of the fonts in the webcontents for docs have subpixel AA - probably a layers thing. But the font in the menu is particularly blurry -- it's not just lack of subpixel AA.


This is on a HP Spectre x2 convertible tablet. Resolution 1920x1280 (yes 1280, not 1080). Font scaling is at the recommended 150% setting.

Doesn't happen on my other Windows laptop. Maybe just changing to font scaling is enough to reproduce.

Since m52 came out, I've flipped chrome://flags/#enable-use-zoom-for-dsf and it's glorious. So pretty sure this can just be duped.

Now it's just  Issue 551738  preventing me from cutting Edge out of my workflow :/

Same here. They told me my issue 674626 was being merged with 551738 and to look there but it says I do not have permission to view it. If you can could you please explain  bug 551738  here or on my bug report it would save our dept boatloads of trouble.  I have teachers throughout our district screaming and I need to be able to tell them it is not our fault.

 Issue 551738  is a Windows 10 bug: you need to install the Windows 10 Anniversary update.

(Issue 485650 isn't restricted.)

Well crap. We are Using Windows 10 Ent LTSB. Due to Microsofts forced update process. If we cannot get through a school year without a version update that will cause Us massive issues
