Odd drop-down menu highlighting in Chromium

Hi all,

I'm running Chromium 36.0.1985.125-1 on KDE 4.13.3-1 and the drop-down menus have an odd behavior when the pointer is over the items. Some of the menu items are regularly highlighted, some others stay gray and, in this case, the blue color remains on the last highlighted item even if the mouse changed position.

Take a look at this screenshot for an example:

This happens for all the drop-down menus (right-click menus and setting menus) and it affects items alternately (all the odd or even items). It's worth mentioning that click events work correctly even if the item isn't highlighted.

I tried the change the theme to GTK+ but this doesn't help. All the other applications work well, it's just Chromium...

Thank you very much for your help.

Fabio

The same thing happens to me. Did you manage to find a solution?

Unfortunately no, I opened an issue at the Chromium project site https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issu … ?id=400487

Re: Odd drop-down menu highlighting in Chromium

so far the only workaround i found is to disable hardware acceleration in chromium settings or to downgrade kdebase-workspace package

The following 4 command lines fix the problem instantly

kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key GLStrictBinding true
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin reconfigure
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin toggleCompositing
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin toggleCompositing
