Chrome extension button popup stuck open - google-chrome

Lately the popup bubble that shows when you click a chrome extension will randomly get stuck open, or will not open at all. Here's an example of it getting stuck open:
There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. It happens for all the different extensions, and I didn't add/remove/change anything (other than updating my browser) lately that might affect this.
Most of the time when I click an extension button, it will flash open and then minimize down to a small white bubble as above, and only after clicking it four or five times does it stay open.
Reinstalling Chrome hasn't helped, and I'm not really sure what else to do. I'm running Version 31.0.1650.63 on Mavericks. Has anybody seen this before?

How can I remove a site from a Chrome tab?

If there are a lot of sites on a Chrome tab, a site on the tab that is compute or graphics intensive - say a page with panning and zooming animation - will stutter. So how can I remove sites from a tab so that only the intensive site is left?
Try clicking the "x" on the tab to get rid of it. If it's really stuttering, which I've seen happen on a number of occasions, try Ctrl+W to close the tab. If it gets particularly bad, Alt+F4 will close Chrome. You can then reopen Chrome and manually reopen whichever tabs you just lost that you want to see.

Re-enable WebGL without restarting Chrome

When Chrome stops WebGL and gives you the following error (in a yellow banner on top of the screen): "Rats! WebGL hit a snag...", and reloading does not work (WebGL is still not re-enabled), is it possible to re-enable WebGL without restarting Chrome?
Context:
Chrome disables WebGL probably because it requires too many resources: I ask it to display 400,000 billboards on Cesium, for those who know what this is.
I know how I could reduce the resources my app asks for, but actually I am exploring its limits for testing purposes. So I am going to make Chrome disable WebGL a lot of times, and I do not want to restart it everytime it disables WebGL.
My configuration:
Chrome 35.0.1916.114 m
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
Solutions explored:
I already tried to open a new Chrome window, it does not work. For the moment all I can do is close all Chrome windows and restart it.
I already tried to put --ignore-gpu-blacklist in the Chrome shortcut (even if I understood this is for Windows XP, right?).
Hope I was clear enough.
Thank you for your help.
I was having the same problem and I just found a solution. It sounds like this didn't work back when this question was posted but, it works now!
Refreshing the page doesn't work. If you clicked a link from a different tab to open the tab the crashed, clicking that link again doesn't work. You have to open a new tab and paste in the URL of the page that you want to reload.
I'm guessing this is due to chrome threading... by opening a brand new tab, you create a new thread instead of using the existing one.
In your application you should properly handle webglcontextlost and webglcontextrestored events. In particular, you should prevent default event action in webglcontextlost handler thus telling the browser that you can restore proper functioning of your app when webglcontextrestored will be fired.

Mystery flash of code displayed on page load

I have a screen full of code that displays for about half a second on loading some pages in chrome.
I managed to grab a screenshot of it.
I think this one is from a google search for the London tube map.
I have disabled chrome extensions and antivirus but it still appears.
Does anyone know what this is?
In this particular instance the code is generated by Bitdefender Traffic Light extension. If the antivirus is installed, the extension seems to be enabled without being displayed in Chrome's list of extensions.
Disabling the antivirus doesn't seem to disable the extension. But you can clearly see it is activated in a google search as each link has a specific icon next to it.
Other extensions might do a similar thing, but in the lower-left part of the screenshot, the code is:
fraud_link = "http://trafficlight.bitdefender.com/info?url={URL}&language=en_US";
Which makes it obvious this extention is causing the code to be displayed.

Chrome emulator tab defaulted on refresh

With Chrome 32.0.1700.77 the new emulator tab is handy except it's the default tab when I refresh my page.
During my standard development workflow, I constantly refresh the page when I make changes. I usually have the console window open at the bottom of the network or source views. But every single time I refresh the page, the Emulators tab takes focus and I can't see the console.
This is truly annoying since the app will fail because of a simple JavaScript typo, but I can't see the console without clicking one more time (to focus the console tab).
Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Combined with the Chrome Developer Tools unresponsive since update 32.0.1700.76 m issue, I would have to say Google really tripped up this release.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. It looks like there has been a bug reported to Google as found on this thread, but no fix has come about yet.
I think the only way (right now) to prevent the console tab from being hidden when needed is to avoid using the emulator or revert to a previous version of Chrome.
Hopefully a fix comes soon!
It's been a while since this post was made, but I came across the same issue recently. When you have the developer toolbar open, the phone icon beside the "Elements" tab should be blue. Clicking that will disable Emulation.

Flash movie becomes while blank after switching browser tabs

I have the following issue:
When I load my flash app in Google Chrome everything works fine. But when I switch to another tab in browser, wait a bit and switch back instead of my flash app I see white area. Moreover, when I do right-click on it I see flash menu (that one you normally see on right-click).
I see this strange issue only in Google Chrome.
I have Google Chrome 19.0.1084.56 and it runs on Mac.
Any ideas and thoughts are welcome!
