I don't work on chrome anymore, reassigning.
@senorblanco, they must be using backdrop filters on their site. It would be interesting to see what this looks like in safari. Can you find the appropriate person to look at this?
Just to update, still able to reproduce this issue on Win-10 using latest canary #57.0.2976.5.
jaydasika@ - Gentle Ping...!!
Could you please have a look into this issue.
Thanks...!!

Note that Experimental Web Platform Features does need to be enabled. And I have confirmed that background-filter is to blame.
The issue appears to be in the CC compositor. Blink is creating a layer for an opacity animation that is 57 pixels wide, but when that layer is ultimately drawn it produces rendering artifacts about 150 pixels wide due to the blur on the background filter. Adjusting the blur radius adjusts the size of the artifact.
I'm pretty sure this is crbug.com/622128, the cursed bug.

Reopen this.
There is a new clamp mode in skia blur to not read 0 outside the image, see bug 622128.
Please use the new skia code where the Web Platform needed.
Apple seems to have changed their header, such that this no longer reproduces, even before the border box CL. But the problem described is almost surely related to the border box clipping behavior, which should now be fixed. I'm therefore closing this as fixed.
