Ghost of Reagan Past posted:I've got a weird problem that just started with Chrome on my Windows 8 tablet. Sometimes, when I click, using the touchscreen, on some elements, it does this weird thing, and it won't let me click on some links. This is just the Chrome usability feature to make it easier to press the right link on sites designed for desktops. It's done that on Android for years. I doubt there's a way to disable it. It will work if you just select the correct link from the zoomed version, right?

Did the fonts on SA get ugly and big for anyone else in the last few days? Happened on my Windows PC 2-3 days ago and on my Chromebook this morning. At first I thought I was zoomed in but the header/footer/thread title, etc. all look normal. It's just the posts that are screwed up.

WoG posted:I use Simple=Select+Search. It's adequate, and works as expected. It doesn't sync your configured search engines between multiple chrome installations, but it has an import/export page where you can just copy/paste it. (Since I never change these, it hasn't been much of an inconvenience.) Isn't highlight and search a default function of chrome? I know it only lets me browse via Google but I always thought that's how everyone else dealt w/looking up uncommon word definitions. Also, I have Google dictionary installed but I always forget how to enable it.

The stupid zoom thing has been removed in the new version of Chrome! Touch Screen users go to the Menu>About Google Chrome to force the update. e: It turns out that the fix in the updated version doesn't work for everyone, and the beta of the next version breaks it again.

Chrome Version 39.0.2171.65 m Stable I have an odd Flash problem that I haven't seen anywhere else. I just did a manual update of the non-integrated Flash player, and now the integrated Flash plugin for Chrome appears to be gone.  My only option is to use the Pepper flash player, which is often really lovely. I often prefer to disable pepflash and use the integrated Chrome player. Does anyone have any ideas how I can recover Chrome's integrated Flash player, short of a completely fresh install of Chrome? edit: Problem solved. I needed to restart Chrome to finish an update.

Anyone else having grief with the Adblock Plus extension, where it sometimes just locks up all IO with a message in the status bar saying "Waiting for Adblock Plus extension"? Disabling (and reenabling) makes it go away. I'm on 64bit beta-m.

I'm having a weird Chrome issue with Google Docs on a single computer: Whenever I enter text/numbers into a Google Sheet cell, the cell doesn't update until I switch to another tab or window, then switch back. I've tried pretty much everything short of reformatting (which I can't do until this semester is over). Has anyone else encountered this? I did post this on the Google support forums but never got an answer.

Disabling SALR didn't help, I didn't try Adblock. The problem comes and goes, and right now it is gone so I can't experiment.

I tried it before and it seemed fine, but I was showing up on reports at work saying I was accessing known spyware sites. Turns out it was looking at adtidy.org or something similar and for whatever reason that site is flagged. I was just wondering if µBlock did anything like that.

I am the world's largest moron - I just locked my girlfriend out of her Google account. I convinced her to turn on two-step verification and how to use Google Authenticator, and she was fine with that. Then, a few weeks later, I helped her swap phone plans - she got a new number, since she uses Google Voice and I figured we could just release her old "native" number and just forward the GV number to the new "native" number. That worked fine for a week or so, until we ALSO had to wipe her Windows laptop after some nasty malware took up residence. I reinstalled, tried to log into her Google account, and... now there's no way for me to get the 2SV code. Of course I didn't get backups or update her backup phone number to point to her new native number, I told you I was a moron, didn't I? We've completed the account recovery form twice, both denying her access to her account. Now, she does still have full access to her Google account on her phone, but she can't log in anywhere else. Any ideas on how to save the day in this situation?

Alt-text and other mouseover tooltips are gone again (39.0.2171.95 m / Windows 8.1.1 / GeForce 344.75). I expect this to be fixed only at random because Google and Windows are in a cold war. Probably Google with all of Microsoft but their corporate structures make it hard to determine. EDIT: Nevermind, they still work in Linux; now I have no faith they'll ever be fixed. EDIT 2: And now it's back, same everything, no changes to extensions, no changes to drivers or programs, didn't even restart Chrome.

In the Chrome dev tools I have source maps enabled because I use things like coffeescript and SCSS. However, this makes the Network tab get spammed with .map file requests that I never will ever care to look at. Is there a way to automatically filter out these files from the network tab?

I'm having a weird issue where I can't access a particular website through Chrome. Works fine in IE and Firefox. I have tried disabling extensions, adblocking, pop up blocking, clearing cache, clearing cookies, updating Chrome, updating Windows. The website is lumberjocks.com What's weird is I can access the site through it's numeric IP: http://50.115.35.242/ This is the error message I get which is on a partial rendering of the website. I don't believe it is a Google message, but generated by that website. quote:Application Error Occurred Is there anything else on my end that could be causing the problem? The website believes it is on my end.
