Graphical artifact in Chrome and Chromium

  • 772

Since today I encounter weird graphical artifact when using Chromium ( makes it unusable).

It does not happen in Firefox or any other application.

Here is a screenshot :

chromium artifact

(Not visible in the screenshot but this also happens to the menu/tab bar. Not only in the page content.)

Out of curiosity I installed Chrome but the exact same thing happen.

I was wondering if it is a known problem with one recent update or if the problem come from my graphics card ?

Additional information :

Chromium version :

Version 45.0.2454.85 Ubuntu 15.04 (64-bit)

Chrome :

Version 45.0.2454.101 (64-bit)

Ubuntu :

 Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" (64-bit)

lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' output :
