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

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

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.

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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
