Messy views in Chrome after crash

[Dave S]

Every now and then, my older laptop says it can't handle umpteen dozen tabs any more, it's done swapping, and it nosedives into a blue screen.  This laptop is also hosting the dev versions of my sites, using the in-box rocket server.   Window 10+ environment.

After this happens and I restart the system, the server, and the browser, Opera (and Firefox, too, I think) are happy to resume and everything appears fine.  Chrome resumes, but many of the tabs from my web2py instance display messed up ... bits appear in scambled places, like a jigsaw puzzle waiting to be assembled, and there are black blocks in various places.  Sometimes I can see the appropriate contents by highlighting a region, and a field in a form usually behaves normally while I'm entering data, but often is glitched as soon as I change focus.

This happens to relatively simple pages where I use SQLFORM or SQLTABLE, and it happens to the admin pages (include viewing a ticket).

Clearing the browser cache doesn't fix this.  Is there a place where rocket has cached data that I should be clearing?  Oh, Chrome does have the most tabs open, and Opera a lot fewer, but about the same number of tabs from my sites.

Thanks

Weird copy-paste error on the first paragraph, which should read:

I just completed a Chrome update, so there may well be browser cache that wasn't getting cleared by clear selections.   I'll skip blaming Rocket for a bit, but I'll be waving my hands if I get stuck on this again.
