Is there some way to change the menus via CSS? The amount of vertical space is braindead.

You can add this to your chrome shortcut arguments to go back to the old menus: --disable-new-menu-style e.g. c:\whatever\chrome.exe --disable-new-menu-style Personally for me it's the fact that I use "right click -> move mouse down and right a couple pixels -> click back" all the time, and the new menu spacing makes that more obnoxious.

Hopefully Google sets it to be the right style depending on the OS which is the Right Thing to Do.

Uhhhhhh. Okay, so sometime between last week and yesterday something changed in my Chrome to where if I am moused over a Youtube video and I roll my mousewheel, the video window starts to get bigger or smaller. I thought maybe this was a feature but it doesn't seem to scale with the page, it just kind of gets bigger and appears behind all the other text. This is Chrome stable 26.0.1410.43 on OSX 10.8.3. Doesn't happen on Safari so I don't think it's a Flash thing. edit: Oh okay nevermind, I have the "Youtube Options" extension which I guess updated with that feature enabled by default? I say that because it seriously didn't used to happen and I know I didn't manually enable it. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Apr 6, 2013 |

I've had a text display problem on a few select sites for quite some time now. It's happening on desktop installations, three different computers, and any computer I've tried the PortableApps portable installation. I thought it might have something to do with scaling, but ctrl+0 does nothing and the settings menu says it's at 100%. Messed up sites (not just these, it's on other sites as well): Joystiq GOG.com Most sites: RPS Have I been correct in assuming that it's just a problem to do with the sites in question and not a problem that I can fix? Portable version is 26.0.1410.43 m but this is a problem I've been having for a long time.

I can tell you it's not happening on the non-PortableApps browser (same version though) on Win8 and OSX. Will check PortableApps in one second once it installs. e: Nope. Everything looks okay to me, sorry some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Apr 7, 2013 |

Hmmmm. I had it showing up on my brother's laptop and a 10 year old computer. I'll try unplugging my flash drive from my work computer here and see if it still shows up wrong on the desktop installation. Edit: Yeah, it's showing the messed up text there too. I'd say it could possibly be a screen resolution deal, but then it wouldn't show up in the screenshots. Huh. Maybe someone else knows what does it. I tried disabling all of my extensions again (tried it when I first noticed it a while ago) but it's not them. Onean fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Apr 7, 2013 |

It looks like the text just isn't being antialiased, unless there's some other glitching I'm not noticing. I'm not really sure why it would show up on multiple installations on multiple computers, but that's what I'd look into. It's not all the same font is it? (Assuming the other websites are fine because they use some other font)

Using Chrome's Inspect Element option and unchecking font: 14px/1.6 "Open Sans",Arial,sans-serif; on the CSS fixes the problem on Joystiq. Before After Doing the same on GOG.com didn't at first, but once I found the right one it does. Edit: Ignore the parts of the Joystiq image that isn't fixed. The CSS change only affects the article section, not the whole site. This might be something I can fix, but I don't really want to put together some kind of custom CSS for the sites that don't work. Edit Edit: Actually, I think the Arial I set for Chrome's default font is just making it less obvious. It's still there and a bit more noticeable at larger font sizes. I've never been very good at this debugging thing. I'd try the antialiasing bit, but I couldn't see one in Chrome's settings option, and nothing obvious in chrome://flags.

Chrome doesn't do sub-pixel rendering from what I know.

Do you have Cleartype set up on your computer? None of your text looks antialiased, even on the tabs and the browser UI itself. That doesn't excuse the jankiness, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that Open Sans font is only designed to be smoothed, or if Chrome's rendering relies on it. There's definitely some weird kerning with your replacement font (like having an adjacent de smooshed together), I'm not sure if that's normal though. I just turned Cleartype off (although you apparently still have to tweak it, so I guess it's not actually 'off' anymore?) to check and it looks awful. It doesn't mess up in the same way but other places look awful (like the URL bar - all uneven thicknesses and weird spacing) so I reckon try turning it on and see how far you get. Might require a restart or something if nothing changes

I've been having a weird problem with Chrome for a while now. If I try to shut down my computer without closing chrome first, I get stuck at "waiting for some programs to close" and I have to click force close to actually shut down. If I close chrome before doing it, windows closes everything else without issue as it shuts down, so I know for sure it's Chrome causing it. Google hasn't helped so far (or maybe I'm just not searching for the right things?), and it's not exactly a huge problem, I just make sure to close my window when I need to turn off my computer or restart or something. I just have no idea why it would have started.

Gerudo Rivera posted:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smooth-gestures/lfkgmnnajiljnolcgolmmgnecgldgeld If anyone else was having this problem, I figured out a way to roll back the extension to the previous, unbroken version & prevent it from autoupdating. Note that you'll need to reconfigure smoothgestures settings (or import them) after doing this, so make a backup if you don't have one already. 1. Have the current version of smoothgestures installed 2. Download https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12883402/smoothgestures%20oldversion.zip 3. Extract into [local user appdata directory]\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\lfkgmnnajiljnolcgolmmgnecgldgeld 4. Open replace lfkgmnnajiljnolcgolmmgnecgldgeld section in preferences with this.txt 5. Make sure chrome.exe is not running 6. Open in notepad the Preferences file in [local user appdata directory]\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\ 7. Search for lfkgmnnajiljnolcgolmmgnecgldgeld in the file 8. Replace the entire section (from "lfkgmnnajiljnolcgolmmgnecgldgeld": { to "state": 1 },) with the text from replace lfkgmnnajiljnolcgolmmgnecgldgeld section in preferences with this.txt 9. Save & close the Preferences file 10. Open Chrome & reconfigure/import your smoothgestures settings HOPE THIS HELPS

Updated to latest dev version of Chrome on win7, and the "most visited" boxes that appear on a new tab page has gone from 8 to 4. I'd REALLY REALLY like to avoid installing a bloated extension like speed dial (or speed dial 2 or whatever's hot these days) to reestablish the number of sites which show up on that new tab page. Any ideas on how to go about reverting to eight, or better yet, a custom amount of sites?

I am up-to-date on the beta channel and still have 8 items there. Maybe when you switched versions it reset whatever counter is used to populate that list so it is temporarily showing you less than eight?

It's definitely a dev thing, and it's pointless and annoying. Perhaps it's just how I use the internet but I have my static (always open) tabs then a bunch of sites I'll crack open once or twice a day, and they live on that new tab screen. If I throw them in a bookmark folder, I forget about them, so the new tab interface is how I'm reminded to see what I need to see on those pages. If I tinker with the css on that page and manually add in more of the "mv-tile" divs I can see as many as I want to on that page. I'm just clueless on how to permanently make that the default.

Is anyone aware of a chrome equivalent to firefox's "save image in folder" addon? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/save-image-in-folder/ It's just about the only function I haven't managed to reproduce yet in Chrome. Saving images through the "save as" dialog feels major tedious now. Would this be something the chrome extension API even allows?? If so, I will pay CASH DOLLAR($) to whoever ports it. If not, i might have to go back to firefox Gerudo Rivera fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Apr 9, 2013 |

I don't know, but it's much much much faster for me to just open Finder windows side by side next to Chrome and drag images I want to save into their respective folders than it is to go through the Save As dialog. I presume this works the same way in Window but I haven't personally done it so I dunno. I'd love an extension like this but I'm not holding my breath.

I did a search but it brought up a bazillion results about extensions. All my Chrome extensions suddenly stopped working, removing them and reinstalling did nada. Is there a fix or do I need to uninstall Chrome, delete everything and hope it works when it comes back? Win7 + latest v. of Chrome.

Is there any reason why the "save password" pop-up doesn't even appear when I'm logging into Google stuff, like Youtube or Gmail? I wanna save my login information, damnit! For some weird reason, logging as 'username@gmail.com' instead of only 'username' used to solve the problem, but even that doesn't work now.

It will save your information if you use chrome sync, afaik. You can also enable a flag in about:flags where you can get a sign in prompt to log you in. The real stupid thing is there isn't as far as I can tell a good way to update a site password. You need to delete the current password then save the other one.

Has anybody seen an issue with a tab that stops redrawing? For instance, if I scroll or move the mouse, the cursor will change to indicate that it is moving over links and whatnot, however the picture doesn't change and appears frozen. Sometimes I'll even switch from one tab to another and it will show a different tab altogether, or even a recently closed tab, obviously in the same 'frozen' state as above. This is probably related to the fact that I have 4 monitors across two video cards, but I've disabled everything GPU related in chrome:flags and it hasn't helped. This has persisted across every new stable version for the last few months.
