Black boxes behind drop down menu in chromium based browsers (e.g. google-chrome)

You might try increasing the amount of RAM allowed for graphics; or increasing RAM generally in VirtualBox for that VM. Increasing your swap space within the XFCE VM could potentially help.

On the chance that it is only a Chromium-based browser issue, you might try searching from that perspective.

Example; I found a similar report from 2019 wherein a solution was to disable GPU Rasterization in chrome://flags:

Type chrome://flags into the address bar and then ‘gpu rasterization’ into the resulting search box; and disable GPU Rasterization.

A reboot at this point might be a good choice.

Note that issues with Chromium generally have nothing to do with Manjaro. :eyes:

Until your forum privileges are increased you can post a link like this: https://forum.manjaro.org/

Notice that this allows others to easily copy/paste the the url if needed, despite it not being a live link.


Hi @deperito and welcome to the Manjaro community.

As a new forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.

To that end, some or all these links may be invaluable:

Last, but not least, the Update Announcements, which you should check frequently for important update related information.

An issue may be directly related to a particular update; these announcements should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers.
