Chrome fullscreen mode suddenly tearing like crazy
Posted: 10 Oct 2018, 08:14
I noticed this yesterday while watching YouTube in full screen. At first, I thought there was something wrong with the creator's capture/encoding process, but after seeing another video with the same artifacts, I knew something was wrong.
Long story short, after a bit of troubleshooting I came to the realization that something has been recently broken with full screen mode in Chrome, or, at least for me anyway. There were no driver or other obvious software updates to prompt this issue. I know that Chrome updates itself completely autonomously, so I'm fairly certain it's just a problem or "experimental feature" with a recent build.
GTX 1080/Win10. Nvidia drivers were at 380-something and I just updated to 416.16. No change. Firefox does not exhibit this issue.
Recorded the behavior using the slo-mo option on my iPhone6:

Notice how the problem doesn't start until the "Press F11 to exit full screen" overlay fully fades away. Weird, eh?
It will probably go away in a few days, but I found it interesting (and annoying). Anyone else having this problem?
