Did 38 Beta change the way it handles Plugins? I have a DVR system that uses a "WebKit" plugin. Every since 38 Beta, the Browser when you try to go to the DVR page, thinks the plugin is not installed. But it is. If I test it on 37 stable, it still works fine.

 

I'm guessing when 38 goes Stable, I'll lose the ability to access my DVR system 100% in Chrome at that time. Anyone have any ideas? It's a Q-See DVR.

 

DVR Client - Version: 1,1,2,34
Web Camera
Name: DVR Client
Description: Web Camera
Version: 1,1,2,34
Location: C:\windows\system32\WebClient\npwebclient.dll
Type: NPAPI
MIME types: MIME type Description File extensions application/x-dvrwebclient npwebclient

 

Enable the plugin via the plugin button next to the bookmark star in the address bar. I noticed this too with Battlelog.

Here it is again, because this is quite an annoying bug. Sometimes the correct menu will show if I scroll and try again?? I can't seem to find a related bug by searching for "incorrect context menu shows in Chrome" via Google either :/

Odd, I sometimes encounter something like that too in all browsers (e.g. IE and Firefox) on these forums when using the quick reply feature. I find I have to literally click into the area I want to highlight then the correct right click menu appears, hmmm. Will have to test this some more when I get more time.

It happens everywhere, not just in Fast Reply windows :P

SHA1 has been marked as deprecated as on Sept 30:

 

Commuit URL: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/4f80127285b5be9265ad96ce9b118e414107815a

 

BTW, Chrome Oilpan work is now mostly complete and it might be enabled soon, its similar to Cycle Collection in Firefox, it more like Garbage Collection for C++ code to avoid use after free bugs and leaks.

- Chrome is now using Direct Write font rendering in its UI (in M40).

 

 

Add support for enabling DirectWrite for font rendering in Chrome UI.

Is anyone getting annoying flickering of Flash objects that persists until you click to activate it? Using Chrome 40 on Yosemite.

 

If possible can you show picture or screencast, there are many corruptions bugs filed for Chrome.

Think I figured out the cause. I had this turned on:

chrome://flags/#enable-plugin-power-saver

K found this for the annoying GIF loading issues in Chrome http://lifehacker.com/gif-delayer-eliminates-choppy-animations-to-play-gifs-a-1528157941 and see that many of the gifs in the Random Funny Pics thread are in fact well over 5, 10 and 15mb :s (loading animation shows this) will have to give it a few to see if it actually helps some.

 

Yes I already disabled the pepperflash plugin (which is also supposed to fix the issue, but doesn't). Now I still need to find out why the wrong context menu still shows when I attempt to copy/paste or use autocorrect in text fields or normal html pages.

 

Can anyone tell me why/how this happens because it's freaking annoying as my job is writer/editor!

What I want (above), and what I don't want but happens all too often (2nd pic)

- Well, context menu stop bug is also occurring for me, I will try to bisect it and search in crbug.com to find any relevant bug to it. Will try Opera as well, so see whether it is Chromium bug or Chrome only.

 

(BTW its with keyboard) Is this relevant bug in your case? - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=282598

 

- Can you share about:gpu, acceleration stats and please from version information, copy paste "Command Line Args"? Any link or page to reproduce issue successfully.

Yep

 

Performance Information
Graphics 5.9
Gaming 5.6
Overall 5.6
 
Command Line Args Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --flag-switches-begin --enable-download-resumption --flag-switches-end
 
The issue happens everywhere, in text fields on pages and to "fix" scrolling up or down and then reselecting or right clicking sometimes shows the correct context menu.

Try to enable:

 

 

chrome://flags/#impl-side-painting

 

and also disable dns-prefetching by unticking this:

see whether this makes a difference.

 

I found this chrome addon.

 

 

Working method of it:

- Once page with gif load, press Esc to stop animations and again Esc to play animations

- If you scroll page, animations might start working. (Webkit limitation)

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Can you if you don't mind, create screencast to reproduce autocorrect triggering wrong context menu bug?

Cheers, will keep an eye on if it improves with those settings :)

 

If possible can you share reproduce steps for that context menu bug and do let us know if these settings improve GIF loading issue.
