If I install the Adwaita theme[1] to make Chromium fit in with the rest of my GNOME desktop, this problem comes back.

Type some text in the Chromium address bar Expected behavior: text does not jump up and down Actual behavior: text jumps up and down (see attached screencast). Apologies for the large size of the screencast. I tried to unplug my external monitor to reduce the image size to 1366x768, but unfortunately GNOME Shell produced a 2646x1024 video anyway (most of it black), and the file size was larger in the end (3 megs instead of 1). And Kazam segfaulted when I tried to use it instead.
