Weird background appearing around Chrome popup menus.

Hi,
I've started noticing a weird background appearing around Chrome popup
menus.
Currently on Google Chrome version 120.0.6099.109 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hi! Do you use a compositor in your Xmonad setup? -- Best regards, Platon Pronko PGP 2A62D77A7A2CB94E

Thank you,
Disabling the "Chrome Refresh 2023" flag seems to have solved the issue. (I
also like the old look and feel better so win-win.) However, I'm guessing
it's just a matter of time before they force this change through.
I have tried using a compositor in the past (xcompmgr). However, it causes
my screen to have horizontal tearing, so I stopped using it.

Unfortunately it looks like they are using a semi-transparent window to render pretty rounded corners and drop shadows under the menu. And for semi-transparency to work compositor is needed. -- Best regards, Platon Pronko PGP 2A62D77A7A2CB94E
