Weird headless post Chrome 144 issue of TINY rendered area

[Michael Vederman]

Hello,

We run headless automation bots which use selenium and chromedriver and post 144 we are getting failures we just do not understand.

We saw this start in Chrome 144 and hoped it would be resolved in 145 which we updated to today, but no.

The issue is the rendered area is tiny.

This is happening for multiple bots with different automation libraries, but both use selenium and chromedriver.

This is not consistent, sometimes it will work, some bots don't suffer from this issue, we are looking for a common thread and a way to mitigate this.

The result, as one can expect, is that the page layout is changed and causes some element interaction issues.

When out bot fails, it takes a screenshot and what we see is a tiny sliver that is 1/20th or less the size of the window.

What in sam hill is this?!

tia, mike

well, that image is way too small. here is the right hand side where you can see the scrollbar, that's all that is rendered and that taking a screenshot gets.
