Fedora: Google Chrome Oddity
-
Last few weeks I have noticed an oddity with Chrome running on Fedora.
I boot up the system, and once settled, I start Chrom from the Taskbar - but it only opens 'half screen' with the appearance of 'full screen'.
Double clicking the Chrome bar it 'resizes down, and you can see all the buttons again. CLicking the Full Screen button returns it to full screen again.
I have run updates, but have not un/installed Chrome yet. Has anyone seen this behavior ?

@gjacobse If you setup a VM with the same version of Fedora and Chrome does this occur?
Why not try removing chrome and reinstalling, it's only a few commands.

Happened here while working on Pi - full screen takes only the half screen but horizontally.
Anyway on an seperate note If you have 8 GB of RAM you cant use Chrome anymore. on Linux it is insane Chrome eats 6.9 GB out of my 8 GB and when I close chrome i see htop giving me 500 MB used ram out of 8. Switched to FF, and it is more sane RAM usage and that peaks on ~5GB

@Emad-R chrome uses that much ram on your system?

How many extensions are you running? Clean the cruft out and it'll tone itself down.

The VM would be to just have something to test with that isn't your system.

I’ve only witnessed that with Firefox on Gnome3 Wayland and xorg.
