mqudsi@ Could you please confirm is the above steps is the right way to reproduce this issue? If yes, please check the same on incognito mode or create a new profile under chrome://settings.

Sorry, that should have been "set the DPI to 125%", not 150%. It does occur under 150%, but it's not as obvious as at 125%.

_However_ note that I can see (to some extent) the behavior described in the original ticket in the screenshot you posted (765848.PNG). Notice how the rendering of "hello wor" in the search box differs from that of "Hello world" in the HTML document body. 

Make sure you are using a hi-dpi monitor to look at the screenshots. You won't be able to see the difference if you are not using a 4k monitor. 

Here's a zoomed in screenshot of your screenshot; notice the difference between how "hello wor" is rendered and the "sign in" next to it in the background was rendered.

Requesting someone from the inhouse team to take a look at this on High-DPI system.

Tested on Windows-10 Dell precision M3800 (HiDPI) using chrome latest canary #64.0.3241.0 and unable to reproduce the issue even by changing the DPI to 125%. Please refer the screencast for reference.

@mqudsi-- Could you please try by removing the extensions and creating a new profile to verify if the issue still persists. You can also try by updating your Canary to latest version.

Please let us know if we have missed anything.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @pnangunoori,

Thanks for sharing the screencast video. Please notice the rendering of the text in the search box, the font kerning differs from that in the rest of the browser interface (chrome) and rendered content (html).

The bug is visible in the video you uploaded, the text in the "find in page" search box is not crisp and isn't being hinted correctly.

Can someone from UI>HighDPI team, please look into this issue as this issue is not reproducible from TE end.

Thanks!!

Possible duplicate of  crbug.com/666357  ?

 Issue 666357  is not visible to the public.

I've made 666357 public; there does not appear to be a reason for it to be private.

 Issue 666357  has been merged into this issue.

If you look at the blown-up comparison between the two texts (in the find text box and in the rendered HTML) you can see that the find text box is using ClearType (the colored artifacts stemming from the ClearText algorithm which uses RGB hinting) vs the 2-color palette used in the rendered HTML, where Direct2D/DirectWrite text rendering is used (which does not directly use ClearType and does not have the same colored artifacts when blown up).

From the duped bug: this is present on Windows 7 as well.

This may be an artifact of #806351, but it should still be kept as a separate bug since it can be worked around separately.
