Chrome Bug!? - infinite scrolling above page body (several Pages) - google-chrome

I recognized this Bug on several Pages occurring in Chromium related browsers. I opened up a Chromium Issue, where the project members could not reproduce the problem - I am trying to figure out why this is happening (since the Problem occurs on Pages as like google.com, amazon.com, and so on, on several Mac-OS devices, which have nothing else in common) - we tried it on a clean Chrome installation, where The Problem is also occurring. To me it seems to be a bug - now I'd like to know if other people are also not able to reproduce. If you can reproduce (to reproduce read the following lines below) and/or find something new/interesting about the problem consider supporting the Ticket/Chromium Issue.
Chrome Version
91.0.4472.101 (Offizieller Build) (x86_64)
URLs tested
https://www.google.de/
https://www.microsoft.com/de-de
https://www.amazon.de/
Other browsers tested
Safari: hasn't the problem
Firefox: hasn't the problem
Edge: has the same issue (also Chromium based)
Chrome Canary: has the same issue (also Chromium based)
How to reproduce the problem?
Refresh Page (Command+Shift+R) and Scroll upwards while page is loading or in parallel (you have to be quick to reproduce).
What is the expected result?
Expectedly the Page should not over-scroll and stop at the pages top/end instead the page can be scrolled infinite above the pages top, same issue appears by scrolling down, where scrolling should stop at the bottom of the page.
What happens instead?
Browser keeps scrolling above the pages top/bottom infinitively. Once triggered the infinite scrolling wont disappear, even after refreshing the page - the only way to change the behavior is to copy the url and paste it within a new tab.

Small update: it seems like the problem appears when using a logitech mx master mouse (if you run into the problem when not using this specific model, let the chrome people know) - it looks like it can be solved by following steps:
Open a terminal window.
Type in the following command then hit enter:
defaults write -g NSScrollViewRubberbanding -bool false
Source: https://www.computerworld.com/article/2726533/turn-off-elastic-scrolling-in-os-x.html
Hopefully they'll fix the problem in chrome itself, until then this should solve the problem.

Update: See Irgend Son Hansel answer
I don't think there's an official fix currently, but what I do when this bug comes up is to simply click the scroll bar. It usually fixes it for a while before it comes back up again.

I am not entirely sure what the OP is asking but I assume they are looking for a fix or a workaround for this?
I occasionally experience the same on my MacOS machine. For me, refreshing page does not work. What I do is the following:
copy url of the current page
open new tab and navigate to the same url
close old tab

Opening Devtools on Chrome makes entire page trip

I'm working on a small website and I'm writing a website almost from scratch. I'm using Bootstrap 4 and I'm modifying only basic CSS.
Whenever I open the Chrome Devtools, the website completely flips out and it looks like it keeps reloading. The entire website only loads from localhost, however, the network tab keeps showing repeating requests to the saem assets, over and over again. The second I quit Devtools, the entire behavior stops. I've tried installing a cache killer, tried incognito, but the problems keeps appearing.
I'm also using Octicons, and what I have noticed is that when I manage to get the Devtools to at least stay focussed at the right part, the <i class="oi oi-chevron-right"> node keeps flashing in purple, indicating there is a change to that node. I can't open it and even just clicking on it won't help, the entire CSS keeps shifting in the inspector bar and it seems like something is making rapid changes. It appears that Chrome re-applies styling changes that I made a few days back, such as locally modifying the margin of an element.
I was able to work on the website just fine a few days ago, but even moving back in commits won't keep the problem from happening. I am starting to think it is a bug with Chrome, but I can not confirm this in any way.
Is there anything that is known to break Chrome's Devtools, that might explain this behavior, or is there a way to clear the cache of the Chrome Devtools specifically?
The "Changes" tab in Devtools reports that there are no changes, but the CSS I see on page makes me seriously doubt it. Removing the icons entirely does not seem to resolve the problem, so I think the issue lies elsewhere. Breakpoints are not triggered either.
I'm not sure but,
Have you checked the chromium extension program?

Why Chrome renders all stuff slightly upscaled and blurry?

some time ago (probably after recent update) I've noticed picture in my chrome changed a bit: everything rendered slightly upscaled and looks blurry. This issue affects everything: tabs, searchbar, bookmarks panel and of course all content in opened pages.
Here is some pic:
As you can see on screenshot, here Firefox window overlaps Chrome window, both of them shows the same page, and you can notice difference in sizes and blurriness. Do you have any ideas how to solve it?
Chrome version: 43.0.2357.130 on Kubuntu 14.04 (64-bit), it has default scale 100%. Also I found some info about similar issue on windows, but this didn't helps me, since there is no DirectWrite settings or something like that in my chrome.
Thanks.
Some more deeper search gives me a link to chromium issue, which describes my situation. And there also I found a solution for me. In brief, you just need to run next console command:
xrandr --dpi 96x96
Hope, this helps somebody.

Website doesn't display properly

The website I'm developing suddenly stopped working properly. The images on my Homepage appear sliced and in weird places (however when inspecting source and hovering over certain elements, the highlighted content seems to be in the right place), some hover on effects don't work and some text doesn't render.
Everything works properly in all other browsers except for Google Chrome. I cannot think of any other thing I've updated in the source code than executing svginjection plugin.
I uploaded my backed up files that used to work before, but the problem still occurs. It doesn't show up on every single computer, just on some (and I've checked it on multiple machines, both - Mac and Windows).
Just to clarify, I did clear the cache, I did check in the Incognito mode, I did restart my computer. None of these helped. I'm also 80% sure that problem only occurs on computers, on which this website was previously opened (the pattern I noticed after making around 10 tests at work).
Thanks for any help
Aight, so after going through all my files, trying to disable multiple options, etc... Everything is fixed now. If you do have similar problem, go through your css files and disable all webkit powered transforms and transitions, cause apparently enough is enough and if you have too many, Chrome just won't handle it. I managed to still reuse some of them, so... Must have caused some glitch in the matrix and that's why it all got messed up. For weirdly positioned images check z-index of parent container.

Google Chrome is zoomed in

So I was using Chrome and IE together when all of a sudden Chrome decides to change its zoom level not only for the webpage, but the entire browser. I'm not sure if it happened when I restarted Chrome or if it happened when I decided to bring it to the front. So basically, all menu items, logos, icons, absolutely everything appears to have been zoomed in slightly. I have restored to original settings, disabled extensions (I don't use any extensions anyways), uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing.
I've used the DPI settings in the properties of the Chrome application and nothing changes it. I've changed scaling in Windows and nothing helps.
Everything is larger in Chrome now and it's driving me crazy. Many menu items won't appear fully because of this. Note that this isn't just at the webpage level but at the entire browser level. I've included some images so you can compare. If you look at the youtube homepage, you'll see that everything is larger in Chrome than it is in Internet Explorer.
Scratch that apparently I need reputation in order to post pictures, ugh. If I can get 10 rep soon I'll post some pics.
I'm sorry if my description is rather vague but this isn't something I could search up. No other programs (including IE) are having this issue. THanks very much in advance if anyone can help. This is just driving me crazy.
No, Ctrl + 0 obviously does not work. This is an issue with the program as the entire program looks zoomed in. Everything, not just the webpage.
Found a "quick fix" solution from post #38 here:
Right click on the Chrome link on your desktop
Choose Properties and then add " /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1" to the existing Link to your path to chrome.exe.
Hope this works permanently. What a hassle.
If you're experiencing a "zoomed in" browser it's because you have an updated version of Chrome. Chrome and FireFox now adjusts the page zoom level according to your Windows settings to better support high DPI displays. For example, if Windows is set to 125% font size (120dpi), the content area will be zoomed by 25%. This is usually the default setting on your computer.
This means that your updated Chrome and/or FireFox browser will automatically set websites to 125%, and all other browsers remain at 100%.
What are possible solutions?
As of this writing, their isn't a known method of fixing this from a web coding standpoint, due to that it's created from the inner workings of the browser. That being said, their are still some things you can do from the "users" side to fix this:
The quickest way around this is to open up your browser and press on your keyboard "ctrl -" (control minus) twice. This will set your website content to 75%, which would be equivalent to 100% in all other browsers (but this will just fix the website content).
You can set your computers font-size settings in your control panel to "100%". This will make all of your computer fonts smaller.
I'm sure their is a better answer to this, but for now these are the 2 options that I'm seeing. In FireFox version 22 they also added this feature (as mentioned above), you can see the work around for FireFox here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962979
I'm sure a similar solution also exist with Chrome.
You can change your windows default zoom to 100% in display settings and make everything almost unreadable, or (a better way)
You can add a start parameter to your chrome shortcut:
"your-chrome-dir\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
I know, it's too late, but just in case someone else has this problem...

CSS transformations crashing Chrome

I'm running Ubuntu (12.04.1 LTS) using VirtualBox (4.1.14) on a Windows 7 host machine. It seems that, using Chrome (21.0.1180.89), CSS transformations are causing the browser to lock up in a strange fashion.
This can be tested using this page: http://benmurden.com/css3test/css3test.html
In short, it looks like the "content area" of the browser, that is, anything apart from the URL bar, tab list etc. stops rendering during or after a CSS transformation and becomes "stuck" on top of every other open process. I can still close the offending tab or the browser itself since that area of the browser is fully responsive. I can even switch to another process and it will be partially visible under the "stuck" content area on top of it.
I meant to take a screen cap to demonstrate this particular effect but after locking up Chrome in this way and switching to a text editor behind it, only the text editor was fully visible on the screen cap and the locked-up Chrome was nowhere to be seen. This leads me to believe this might be a problem with VirtualBox rather than Chrome itself. Then again, there is someone sitting next to me with a nearly identical setup: Same type of machine running Chrome on Ubuntu using VirtualBox with identical versions of those three and he does not experience this issue.
I am unable to reproduce this on any other browser and host/guest combination I'm currently using. Those are:
Firefox (15.0.1) on Ubuntu
Firefox (15.0.1) on Windows 7
Chrome (21.0.1180.89) on Windows 7
Please let me know if there's any other information I could supply that would be of use.
Thanks!
