Problems with Chrome Beta 57 starting with Insiders Build 15025

Reported by s...@niemeyers-kb.de, Feb 12 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Update Windows Insider to 15025 (later 15031) with installed Chrome Beta 57 on German Windows 10 Pro Insiders build 15301 on Surface Book.
2. Open Chrome, click on a link in bookmark bar (set to be shown below address bar), works fine.
3. Click on folder in bookmark bar which contains links, nothing happens or it opens and closes several times per second.
Note that I have Instapaper and 1password extensions installed. But the bug still repros after removing 1pw and Instapaper extensions.

What is the expected behavior?
Folder opens and I can select a link or folder in that folder. See attached video

What went wrong?
Nothing happens, when clicking on a folder. The 1pw button only opens the menu for some milliseconds and closes again.
Also see reports from others users in Windows Feedback app https://aka.ms/Wgchuz and https://aka.ms/Cczq6r 

Did this work before? Yes Chrome 56 with Insiders build 15019

Chrome version: <Copy from: 'about:version'>  Channel: beta
OS Version: 10.0.15031 x64 Pro German
Flash Version: 24.0.0.221

This was introduced with Windows Insiders build 15014 being updated to 15025 (and that one later to 15031). Firefox still works fine.
Also happens in Inkognito mode.

I am having the same issue and playing with Chrome flags (like disabled GPU acceleration etc) does not fix it. Seems to be a overlay/menu rendering problem. It impacts right click context menu and even typing in the search bar the dropdown autocomplete seems to render almost behind the Chrome window. 
While the bug occured on Chrome Beta 57.0.2987.37 the browser has been updated to Version Beta 57.0.2987.54 (64-bit, as before) and the issue persists.
Windows 10 Insider User Feedbacks for this problem: https://aka.ms/rvvvol
The issue happens for me with Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit). 
User in Forum recommends: "Turning off hardware acceleration (in Accessibility) solves the issue FYI"

I've tried that and yes, indeed, this has worked as a workaround.

Well, the result is flash video livestream stutters - so this really isn't a fix but a workaround.
Issue persists in Version 57.0.2987.74 beta (64-bit)
Very interesting! The problem occurs only if the display is projected to second screen (external monitor) only! If I extend or duplicate screen, everything seems OK!
My machine is a Surface Book (Core i7 with Intel graphics and dGPU, official Surface Book drivers) and I haven't attached a second display.
I expect Microsoft to release a new Insiders build this Friday and am curious if updating to that build lets the bug disappear.
Disabling HW acceleration seems to have fixed the issue in Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)
Issue NOT REPRO anymore with Insider build 15042 x64 and Chrome Version 57.0.2987.74 beta (64-bit).

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
Based on comment#13 and checked on the Chrome internal build. Marking the bug as Wontfix.
