Public bug reported:
I switched back to FF when Quantum came out, this is why I hadn't
realised this until today that I had to use hangouts in Chromium.
For some reason, it's like gamma for the Chromium windows is dialled
almost all the way down when hardware acceleration is enabled. Please
see screenshots. The "chromium-no-hw-accel.png" screenshot shows the
same colours as Firefox and Qupzilla.
I've since tried on other browsers using chromium to the same effect:
* Google Chrome 65.0.3325.146
* Opera 51.0.2830.55
* Chromium 64.0.3282.167-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 (as per bug report).
This happens on intel HD630 graphics. I have a bumblebee/bbswitch set up
but it seems unable to boot Chromium at all with HW on.
I haven't been able however to see the same stuff on Electron apps
though (VS Code and Slack).
My setup:
* XPS 9560
* Bumblebee / bbswitch set up
* i7-7700HQ / Intel HD630
* Ubuntu 17.10
* Unity 7
* Kernel 4.13.0-36-generic
