Weird Bug in Google Chrome 5.0.375.55 for Mac

Ever since updating Chrome for Mac to v5.0.375.55 a few days ago, I’ve been getting these weird overlay boxes that show up on certain pages. They don’t scroll with the page, but the content appears to be functional underneath. Even weirder, when I do scroll to uncover the hidden content, clicking on the overlay itself, which stayed in place, invokes whatever was underneath it to begin with. When I go to click on the original content with the overlay displaced, the overlay pops back into its original position.



In other words, after I’ve scrolled (second image), clicking on the box itself brings up the attachment window; hovering over the actual Attach File link pops the overlay box back into place (reverts to first image).

Happens in Analytics too. There’s an annoying box covering some of the stats, but I can still see daily stats even while hovering over the box itself.

Strange. Anyone else? Appears not to have anything to do with any of my extensions, either—FlashBlock included—nor does it happen in Safari or Firefox.








There is no commenting. Sorry. Luckily, you have all those fancy buttons up top to choose from! How exciting!
