I have Chrome Frame installed in IE8 in a Windows 7 VM on a Mac OS
Lion.
My site has several canvases. One always at the bottom of the screen,
another that show when you scroll.
You load the page and see the canvas at the bottom of the screen, it's
fine. You scroll over to make the other canvases show, suddenly the
display gets weird and crazy. When you scroll them back off the
screen so they hide, display goes back to normal.
This happens on my VM. On everybody else's VM, it's fine. With a
normal IE7 or 8 outside a VM, it's fine. Connected to a remote
desktop through my computer, it's fine. Does anyone have any idea why
this might be happening?

I wonder if the VM is presenting a GPU to Windows. Would you follow the directions here ( http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/chrome-frame-getting-start...) to set AllowUnsafeURLs=1 in your registry and then type "gcf:about:gpu" in the address bar? Please copy-n-paste the results into a response here so we can see what Chrome thinks about the presence/absence of a GPU in the virtualized Windows environment. Thanks.
I think I may be having the same issue. I am in a Windows 7 VM on a mac. Every mac with this win7 vm seems to be having the same issue in chrome. The issue is also shown if you visit city-data.com ( http://www.city-data.com/city/San-Francisco-California.html ). After the page load, the entire page gets heavily distorted (my view: http://i.imgur.com/zwZDn.png ). Is there any way to fix this issue? It does not seem to have this issue in any other browser in the VM and is fine on chrome in the Mac side (or when it is run on windows outside the VM).

I have a Win7 VM on OS X under VMWare Fusion 4.1.3 and I'm not seeing
the issue you list on the current Chrome Stable channel (21). Can you
confirm that the issue either still exists, and if so, can you provide
more information about your VM host and client versions and
configuration?

Hi, I am experiencing display issues with canvas elements on chrome under vmware fusion that may be related to these issues.
Here is some info:
* Happens in chrome standalone browser (stable 21). I haven't tested it in GCF.
Related bug with screen shot that looks similar to the problem I am experiencing: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=112989 * Note that this bug claims it only happens in 64 bit virtual machine, perhaps you are testing with a 32 bit VM?
My environment: OS X 10.7.4 Graphics: Intel HD Graphcis 3000 512MB vmWare Fusion 4.1.3 Windows 7 Professional x64
jsfiddle that reproduces the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/fvdDt/1/ * Note - The bug is not triggered until drawImage() is called.
The bug does not occur if I disable GPU acceleration for the virtual machine in vmWare fusion.
I have been using this virtual machine for all of my work during the past two months and haven't noticed any other issues with rendering or display on any other program. This jsfiddle renders fine on ie9, ff and safari under the VM. It also renders fine when running chrome and safari under os x on the same machine (i.e., its probably not the mac os x video driver, although it could be a bug in vmware fusions driver).

I have the same problem. To workaround I now launch chrome with "--blacklist-accelerated-compositing" command line arg, which disables a set of hardware accelerated features on Chrome.

Is there any way to have that happen automatically, or launch Chrome
Frame with that option? That would work for my own private browsing
but not for end users.

I just tried out --blacklist-accelerated-compositing and it is certainly an improvement, but still doesn't fix all of the issues. This gave me the idea to search for an option to disable hardware acceleration and I found this one:
--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas
And it completely solves my problem! I modified my chrome shortcut to pass this option on startup so it is always active. Unfortunately I don't know how to pass this for chrome frame.

Please have a look at http://crbug.com/169848. Does turning off
Threaded Compositing
fix it for you?

The "AdditionalLaunchParameters" Group Policy setting (
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#AdditionalLaunch...)
allows you to specify command line arguments to be passed to Chrome by
Chrome Frame. If you use GP to push settings out to a fleet of machines,
then you can set that policy option to "--disable-threaded-compositing". If
you want to set it on a single machine, then you can do it via registry
hacking. Set the REG_SZ value "AdditionalLaunchParameters"
to "--disable-threaded-compositing" in the
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome. I've attached a
.reg file that should do this for you via regedit.exe.

I forgot to mention: If you would be so kind, please follow the directions
here:
http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/chrome-frame-getting-start... to AllowUnsafeURLs then visit gcf:chrome://gpu and copy-n-paste the
contents of that page into either a comment on bug
http://crbug.com/169848or directly to me so that we can fix the
underlying problem. It is
certainly our intent that Chrome and Chrome Frame should simply work for
you out of the box rather than requiring these workarounds. Thanks!
