Yesterday afternoon, both Chrome and Chromium started behaving oddly. |
2 |
|
3 |
When I drag a tab out of it's parent window to create a new window |
4 |
(this is something I do a lot, every day), it works normally until I |
5 |
release the mouse button. Then, instead of staying where it's put the |
6 |
new window will follow the mouse cursor around the desktop anytime |
7 |
Chrom(e|ium) has focus. If I move the mouse quickly, the window will |
8 |
lag behind enough to loose focus, and then the new window will stay |
9 |
put -- as long as Chrom(e|ium) doesn't have focus. But if I move the |
10 |
mouse back to the original window, the new one will jump back to the |
11 |
new window and merge with it. If I move the mouse back to the new |
12 |
window, it will again start following the mouse cursor around the |
13 |
desktop. |
14 |
|
15 |
There also seems to be a limit on how far I can initially drag the new |
16 |
window before it gets "stuck" and I have to release the mouse buttin, |
17 |
grab the banner and drag it further. |
18 |
|
19 |
If I press ctrl-alt-backspace this behavior will stop, and the new |
20 |
window will behave normally. |
21 |
|
22 |
If I right-click on a tab and select "Move tab to new window" the new |
23 |
window will behave normally. |
24 |
|
25 |
No other application seem to have a similar problem. |
26 |
|
27 |
I'm not aware of any changes in configuration in the past few days, |
28 |
and it's been three days since the last emerge. |
29 |
|
30 |
The window manager is openbox, and it's been untouched for at least |
31 |
two months. |
32 |
|
33 |
I've logged out, restarted X11, and even rebooted, and Chrome's odd |
34 |
behavior persists. |
35 |
|
36 |
Any suggestions on how to diagnose/fix this? |
