This happend to me too. Also with Safari and Firefox. I think this is an OSX Bug. Please see  issue 443240 .

mehmet@, thank you for the pointer. Took a look at  issue 443240 . Even if it's an OS issue, I wonder if there is a way to work around this problem because this looks bad when it happens...

+tapted@ who might be familiar with issues like this.

A workaround to fix this issue when it is happening is to start and close Mission Control. May be this bug is also related to it ?!
I meant a workaround by Chrome to hide this problem from users, rather than a workaround by users. :)

Yes, I know :) I just only wanted to mention how you can fix this annoying bug with a workaround before you log-out and log-in again into your OSX account or do a restart of OSX.

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Given that this reproduces with other browsers, please file a radar against Apple. If enough people do it, they might even take a look...

Summary: Omnibox suggestions appear at a wrong position (results window created asynchronously) (was: Omnibox suggestions appear at a wrong position)
There's a real bug here.

An easy repro:
 1) Focus the omnibox then position the mouse cursor over the titlebar
 2) press a key with one hand, then quickly click-move the Chrome window with your other hand.

Omnibox results appear asynchronously, but on Mac moving a window does not update the reported position until the mouse is released. So when the results appear, the Chrome window still seems to be at its old location.

I can repro this with a toolkit-views mac_views_browser window as well, but it's (currently) not as bad since the omnibox results window closes itself when the mouse is released.

To fix, we probably need to create the results window synchronously in response to the key event but make it fully transparent until the results come in. This will improve responsiveness anyway, since creating a Window on Mac is pretty slow -- if we can interleave that with results fetching we will have a more excellent product.

Cool :D. I can reproduce this in other Mac apps too, for what it's worth.
