 Using Version 36.0.1985.125 m-f Google Chrome Browser with Version 8.2 beta 4 causes title buttons to flashing when you bring the browser window forward and it will stay flashing.  If I leave the Chrome browser open and on any webpage and walk away for as long as needed to kick off screen saver it will lock up windows 7.  This does not happen using IE 11.09xxxx

​OS Name: Microsoft Windows 7 (x64)

OS Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601, station (x64)

Actual Tools Program Name: Actual Window Manager

Actual Tools Program Version: 8.2 beta 4

Conflicting Program Name:

Conflicting Program Version:

Actions Required to Reproduce the Problem:

I just sent you my config file just in case you needed it.

 Rich, I haven't managed to reproduce the issue. I think your detailed directions to reproduce it might be helpful.

Please also specify the screensaver you are using.

Best regards!

 I use Snagit from Techsmith version 12.1 for my screen grabs.   I have been setting it though Actual Window Manager and used both the "Mystify" Single screen saver over entire desktop which I have not seen the hang when I do that.  I have seen the hang when using Current Windows Screen Saver and set Mystify through the system settings, but this has not happen all the time.  

The flashing AWM Title buttons only happen when using Chrome Version 36.0.1985.125 m and only on the Chrome Browser not on the other screens/windows

I have done a screen grab video of the error on the browser if that helps and have attached the mp4 file.  (well I tried to attach it even zip it up 252kb in size and it will not take it so I emailed it to you.

 Rich, you might have to resend the screen grab. We haven't received it yet.

 FYI...

I can see the same flickering of the menu/title buttons on Chrome/all windows on my sceen at home when I log in from remote.  I do not see this at home.  Doesn't matter whether I use Radmin or Teamviewer.

I'm guessing it has something to do with video drivers or the overlay.

 Thank you very much, Chris! Your report made it possible to reproduce the issue! Apparently, this only happens in non-Aero (Basic) Windows 7 theme. Is this the theme you got?

Anyway, we are now able to investigate the issue and we will try to fix it. We will post the news on the issue in this thread.

Best regards!
