Strange Chrome issue

CliffyG · 4 Jul 2022 at 19:29

As of a couple of weeks ago my Chrome started playing up. It was just after i changed OcUK posts per thread view setting to 100 so originally assumed it was something to do with that. It was happening all the time in large threads, when i scroll down the whole window goes really bright. Now I can only reproduce it 100% on the forum update thread but is happening with my other tabs too, such as on Facebook when I scroll down the videos page. I can make it go back to normal by scrolling up again. I have just had it happen with my email. I got a new email and when i clicked it on it everything went bright, if i scrolled down the email it went back to normal again.

This is when i clicked on the email:

This is when i scrolled down:

Even the tab headings are affected. I think it has to do with some sort of content on the page but cannot figure it out at all. Anyone come across something like this before?

I upgraded graphics drivers yesterday. Still does it. I only use the add block extension, nothing else. I'll give edge a go tonight.

Ad Block Plus. I've disabled it for now and will see if it reoccurs. Happens instantly on the forum update page. Will try Edge.

EDIT
Exactly the same behaviour in Chrome too...

I just realised, is it the same problem as this?: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...ird-thing-with-brightness-scrolling.18954751/

Yes it looks exactly like that! I'll double check tonight but I'm pretty sure if I drag the window to my other screen the problem stops. I have a 3070ti with an LG 27GP850-B (HDR enabled) and a Dell IPS monitor (problem occurs on this one). I will double check connection types and Dell model number tonight as well.

Yeah my next step was to confirm it definitely did go back to normal if I moved it to the HDR screen. Unfortunately even though it's been immediately reproducible on the forum update thread it's just not doing it now, I found the email it did it with too and that's not doing it either. For what it's worth the second screen is a Dell P2417H plugged in via HDMI, the LG is plugged in via display port.

I've had that Auto HDR setting on since I've had the LG monitor. There has been a new Chrome build released in the last day or so with an install date on my PC of yesterday, maybe that fixed it and is why I can't reproduce it now.
