I had this behaviour on Yosemite with v2.2 and v2.4 also, which is why i tried v2.5b2 originally. I think it may be a Chrome update that's caused it. Unchecking the following Chrome setting resolved it for me: Settings > Show advanced settings > System > Use hardware acceleration when available.

Yep, disabling "Hardware acceleration" did it for me, too. Thanks.

That fixed it on mine too. What is the overall impact of leaving this disabled? Does it run much slower, or eat battery etc??

It runs slower since you're now relying more on the CPU to process things (i.e. rendering) that previously used the GPU (and left the CPU "free" to do other things). Might be good to use a browser like safari for DL monitors.

Disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome also worked for me. Hopefully this won't be needed in a future release.

The rendering issue is fixed in the current Chrome beta. I'm running "Version 47.0.2526.27 beta (64-bit)" and it works fine with my DL display.

Do you haver any idea when this will make it out of beta and into an official release?

Thanks for the info.
