Steps to reproduce the problem:
It only happens from time to time, so it's hard to say when it will happen.

1. Try to watch any video that works through HTML5, with hardware acceleration enabled (I've specifically seen the problem on YouTube and Facebook)
2. When the video flickers, you'll see an enlarged pause button or full screen button (or any other UI element)
3. I noticed that when you scroll the video out of view, and then come back again, it's playing normally again.

What is the expected behavior?
A normal video without flickering or weird enlarged misplaced UI elements.

What went wrong?
There was flickering or weird enlarged misplaced UI elements.

Did this work before? Yes I don't remember

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

I've had this problem for quite some time, but it's not getting fixed, so I figured probably barely anyone knows about this.

I have hardware acceleration enabled. When I disable it, the problem goes away. I'm on a MacBook Pro with a built-in NVIDIA graphics card: GeForce GT 750M.

It's not the best graphics card, but it used to work just fine with online video. When I disable hardware acceleration, it all runs on CPU mode, causing my device to heat up and start up the fans for the simplest videos.. This does not happen in GPU mode.

I also have a built-in Intel Iris Pro, but I have a feeling that one isn't being used at all. (and never has been)

I want to stress again that I didn't always have this problem, even though I'm using the exact same setup as before. It started right after an update of Google Chrome, so it's not broken (or deteriorated) hardware. I don't remember which version it was.
