Pages with solid background colour have "tiled" background

Reported by anowlcal...@gmail.com, Feb 16 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.167 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://mragheb.com/NPRE%20402%20ME%20405%20Nuclear%20Power%20Engineering/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set a solid background-color with one or two RGB components significantly less than the other(s)
2. Fill some, but not all, of the page with content
3. Observe "tiling" effect, where portions of the page that do not have content have the wrong background colour.

What is the expected behavior?
The background should be a solid colour – in the first screenshot, it should all be #00ffff.

What went wrong?
Where there's content, the background is the correct colour (#00ffff). However, in tiles with no content, the background is #82ffff instead (see attached screenshot).

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.167  Channel: stable
OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04
Flash Version: 28.0.0.161

This is exclusive to Chromium, as far as I can tell – Firefox displays the background correctly. In addition, I can't reproduce it on my Chromebook (nyan_big), so it may be GPU-specific (I've attached the contents of chrome://gpu on the device the issue appears on).

The problem isn't limited to this particular website, it also happens on e.g. Trello. I've also attached a simple HTML file that demonstrates the behaviour -- the background-color is set to #008888.

Thanks for filing the issue!

Checked the issue on reported chrome version 64.0.3282.167 and on the latest Dev 66.0.3350.0 using Ubuntu 14.04 with the below mentioned steps.
1. Launched Chrome version 64.0.3282.167
2. Navigated to http://mragheb.com/NPRE%20402%20ME%20405%20Nuclear%20Power%20Engineering/
3. Downloaded and opened the file "colour.html "
We are able to see the background colour properly with out any issues, attaching the screen cast of the same.
Note: We are able see similar behaviour in chrome and other browsers too.

@Reporter: Could you please check the screen cast and let us know if we have missed anything while reproducing the issue. Any further inputs from your end helps us to triage the issue in a better way.

You haven't missed anything, that's exactly what I did. Presumably it's something strange about my GPU that's causing it...

It sounds like a GPU bug and I see you're running with Mesa driver. What happens if you try running with the added flag, either --disable-gpu (which will turn off GPU compositing) or --use-gl=swiftshader (which will use a software GL implementation).

I have had problems with graphics on this machine in the past, so a GPU bug would not be surprising. --disable-gpu fixes it, but --use-gl=swiftshader does not.

As per comment#8 by reporter it seems the issue is not seen when the flag --disable-gpu is enabled. 

Requesting  kylechar@ for further help as enabling flag --use-gl=swiftshader doesn't help.

@Reporter: Could you please let us know if we can close the issue as this seems to be resolved when one of the above two mentioned flags is enabled.

Thank you!
If it's not a Chrome bug, I guess there's no point keeping it open :)

--disable-gpu (or disabling "Use hardware acceleration" in chrome://settings) also clears up some other graphical issues I've been having (e.g. flickering when translucent elements are present), so I guess I'll keep doing that.

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
As per comment #6 and #11, it seems to be a gpu bug and not a chrome specific. Hence, marking it as wontFix.

Thanks...!!
