Chrome windows very sluggish when active on different workspaces

The problem was solved when I deactivated hardware acceleration. The scrolling is still just a little bit less smooth when YouTube is running on another workspace but this is hardly noticeable.


I'm running 16.04.02 on a XPS 13 9360 (Kaby Lake) with an Intel 915 GPU.

After upgrading the kernel from 4.4.0 to 4.8.0 (by installing Hardware Enablement Stack) I started having these problems.

I found that following work-around instructions in the bug report that fix the problem. I just added the following line at the end in my /etc/enviroment:

LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1

I also tried the solution suggested in comment #31, but that messed with my external monitors so I reverted that change.
