I cannot make Google Chrome tile correctly in Awesome WM (version 4.3 in Debian 10 & 11). Chrome's window stops responding, or goes blank, if it is resized (a new tile is added next to it, or a tile is closed/minimized), or when it's open in floating mode.
This weird behavior started with the recent version of Chrome (probably, 86). Only Chrome is affected, Firefox and all other applications I use work without problems.
I tried running Chrome with debug log, but there is nothing helpful there. No error messages appear, neither in journalctl
nor in ~/.xsession-errors
.
Did anyone experience anything like this before?
The problem was resolved after disabling "hardware acceleration" in Chrome. Seems like this feature didn't work well on my system (intel hd graphics 4400 and Awesome WM).
