Older versions of chrome still work fine, but the chrome on the client’s computers are automatically upgraded

Hello @Rui.Zhang03,

It looks like a bug was introduced in Chromium with the release of Canary v124 – specifically affecting Metal Graphics API.

Our recommendation is to try a different graphics backend option. To do that, copy and paste the following in your Chrome browser navigation bar:  
`chrome://flags/#use-angle`

In the drop-down menu, select a different driver other than Metal.

Thanks,  
Tino
