64-bit chrome/chromium based Issues with 15031

[Circaflex]

I am on the 15031build, but even the build before this I have encountered an issue and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same. Using Chrome/Chrome Beta/Dev/Vivaldi/Chromium if I try and access settings via the hamburger menu, nothing happens. Also, right clicking on web content does nothing. I noticed this behavior does not happen when I am hooked up to my surface dock with an external monitor. Thinking scaling had caused this, setting it to 100% on my Surface Book still produces this problem. SFC found no errors, so I am hoping others have had this problem before I nuke it and start fresh. This is an x64 install and also the browsers are the 64-bit variant.

Confirmed issue with the graphics stack on Chrome 64-bit.

same problem here after upgrading to 15031...
an workaround is to open it in windows 8 compatibility mode

If you disable hardware acceleration it seems to resolve the issue. the bug is on googles public tracker so hopefully it is resolved soon.

Only issue i've got is i can't access the settings. Any way to turn off the hardware acceleration with a flag or something?

Hey @MikeChipshop everything seems to be working as normal again on the build that was released today. I am also running Chrome 58.0.3018.3

Ah cheers for the heads up. I never got around to the fix mentioned ed before so this is good news.
