As we dont have Mac VM set up to test and confirm this, hence requesting someone from inhouse team to take a look at this.

If the transform CSS property isn't working in your VM, a lot more than just settings will be broken. I'm switching this to Blink since it's not Settings-specific, but it's possible that Chrome expects some level of hardware acceleration for properties like transform that the VM isn't providing.

As TE team doesn't have mac virtual machine, hence adding TE-NeedsTriageFromMTV label for further triage from MTV

It is using "transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0)", which seems like a no-op except that it forces the creation of a stacking context, which has side-effects for compositing.

The issue is almost certainly related to the VM mis-reporting something about GPU features/availability, or something about the ability of the VM to display composited content. CC ccameron@ who might have a clue.

Does this work with --disable-remote-core-animation? Or --disable-mac-overlays?

ccameron@, any other ideas?

Just a note, the issue seems bigger than just the search engine edit page. There are multiple things (such as the blinking cursor in text fields) that are not working in Chrome in a Mac VM that works outside the VM (which used to work fine in older versions of Chrome).

Hmm, can you navigate to about:gpu, and print the page as a PDF (or save it). It may be that we need to disable hardware acceleration on this driver. Also please try --disable-remote-core-animation (you'll need to do this on Chrome Canary cause it may be busted on Chrome 63) and --disable-gpu Thanks!

Attached PDF. --disable-remote-core-animation - with Canary I see the edit box, but, all web pages blink (same result as --disable-mac-overlays) --disable-gpu - much better results, the page rendering is a bit funky, other than that, the edit box and blinking cursor are visible

It appears that the VMWare driver is unusable (see also issue 607829 ). We'll just blacklist GPU acceleration here.

Hi ccameron, I was wondering if there is an update on this? I am still seeing the bug with version 64.0.3282.186.

I tried this over here ... https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/876644 But it appears that only some VMWare devices are broken, and some of the non-broken ones are being used for testing ... Disabling hardware acceleration in about:settings (in Advanced) should work for now. |
