Android Chrome web view doesn't redraw on navigation


When upgrading to Android 7 (where System webview was replaced by Chrome), the webview has repainting issues and will not redraw after navigation unless I rotate the device.

I managed to work around this by setting android:hardwareAccelerated="false" in the manifest.

Is there another workaround for this problem, as the webview appears to be sluggish after this change?
