Chrome shows multiple black windows when logging is enabled

Reported by ndrantot...@gmail.com, Nov 5 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open an URL/app in Chrome with "--enable-logging" and "--kiosk" switches/flags set (CHROME_LOG_FILE is also set as environment variable)
2. The page/app is opened but another black windows are opened too
3. The black windows seem to show logs

What is the expected behavior?
No black windows like DOS console should be created ("kiosk" switch set or not)  
Log is written in the CHROME_LOG_FILE path set in environment.

What went wrong?
I use Chrome to run a kiosk application. If Chrome creates another windows, it may mask the main one and could disable GPU. A weird thing is it seems not occurring on another version of Windows.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.100  Channel: n/a
OS Version: Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB
Flash Version:

Unable to reproduce this issue on Windows-10 Enterprise using chrome latest stable #62.0.3202.94 by following steps mentioned in the original comment. Observed the kiosk mode is launched with the expected webpage and no black screen is observed.

ndrantotiana.rindra@ Could you please confirm are you still observing this issue on chrome latest stable #62.0.3202.94?

Thanks!
Hello.
I'm still having this issue. In fact my app is using WebGL and I think that the WebGL (GPU) log is displayed in the black screen or the Chrome GPU-related process is launched through this black screen.
I want to note too that I'm launching Chrome via Java application.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding the requester to the cc list.

Thank you for your test.

I have no more Windows Enterprise 2015 LTSB VM at my hand but I will try as soon as I get one.

Meanwhile, could you try to test launching Chrome through command line by opening https://playground.babylonjs.com/frame.html#LL5BIQ#0 and clicking on "From walk to run" button instead of fb.com and adding "--v=4" to command line switches? I think the log verbosity and this webpage will force the GPU logging.

Thank you in advance.
