Hi guys!

My app suddenly've started to flicker in Chrome Canary (53.0.2760.0 canary (64-bit), OS X 10.11): http://jsfiddle.net/nkfn0jq3/. The problem doesn't reproduce in stable Chrome.

Is it a bug in Canary? Can it be connected to the fact that I'm using for scheduling exclusively rAF and sometimes no actual re-rendering of canvas is done in a rAF callback?

Hi Kirill,

Thanks for pointing this out. I can see the regression and think it's an accidental side-effect of the fix for http://crbug.com/581777 , which was just reverted. Please let us know if you see it in the Canary from tomorrow or the day after. We will work on adding a regression test for this.

-Ken

It looks like the abovementioned revert fixed the flickering. I'm sure we'll add a good regression test for this to avoid breaking it in the future. Thanks again for the heads up and please keep them coming.

Did the revert make it to Canary 53.0.2762.0? How can I check it? I've found this: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/53.0.2760.0..53.0.2762.0. And there is 6a90cbb, which is also the last one referenced in http://crbug.com/581777.

The thing is in 53.0.2762.0 the app still flickers.

It doesn't flicker for me in 53.0.2762.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) on Mac OS X. Please copy/paste the ASCII plaintext from about:gpu to pastebin and post the link here.

Can't reproduce this on 53.0.2764.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit). I'm on a MacBook Pro with a discrete (NVIDIA) GPU though, and haven't had a chance to test on just an Intel GPU.

A colleague points out the flickering should have been fixed by one of these two changes:

I just installed Canary...
All webgl sites I have seen gives flikkering is this latest version, in Chrome there is no flikkering.

Has the problem been taking care off or can't we use Canary for 3D?

Please file a bug at crbug.com, and include your about:gpu content in
