I have an issue with the latest update of Google Chrome on my Xubuntu 14.04.

When I open a browser, it's webpage region is completely black, only toolbars are visible. When I try to resize or move browser's window it jumps to the bottom right corner of the screen and I can't get it out of there.

The screenshot:

I've tried to re-install it, but it didn't help.

How do I fix it?

UPDATE #1

I've installed the latest version of chromium-browser just to see how it will perform.

There is no black screen in it, but I still have the problem of moving/resizing it's window.

Try disabling GPU compositing on all pages from the setting available on chrome://flags/ and see if it works. Hope this helps!

Looks like this problem was related to the Xinerama and proprietary NVIDIA drivers.

The black screen disappeared as soon as I switched to 304.117 version of NVIDIA drivers. Although, incorrect positioning of the window is still present, but I can coupe with this until better solution emerge.

I hope this will help someone.
