Chrome and Speed Dial Thumbnails Issue

Chrome and Speed Dial Thumbnails Issue - Resolution

Published on April 2, 2013 By Phoon In Internet

A bit of information for you to aid in your troubleshooting (if needed).

ISSUE: Chrome Browser using either FVD Speed Dial, or Speed Dial 2 (perhaps more) your thumbnails become skewed and distorted upon refreshing them.

SOLUTION:

After having spent the last 2 days sobbing uncontrollably over my keyboard trying to find a solution for this problem I happened upon a thread somewhere that solved it.

Don't waste your time uninstalling apps, checking video drivers, etc. The problem is in the latest version of Chrome.
Mine is at Version 26.0.1410.43 m.

I installed Chrome Canary and the problem is not present. Unfortunately, Roboform does not work with Canary. That is a no-go for me as I rely on Roboform heavily.

In any case, word has it that if you wait a few days that the next Chrome update will fix the issue.

Good tip, now go dry out your keyboard.

OK, now it gets strange.

I uninstalled Canary and that fixed the issue. Google hasn't updated Chrome yet.

Perhaps installing Canary added something that got left behind in the uninstall.

Anyhow, it's worth a shot to see if it fixes it for you too!
