Chrome is "glitching", on my Mac, is this a known issue?

Ok, so on my MacBook Pro I'm seeing some weird stuff when using Chrome. Occasionally, the screen will momentarily get messed up (see pic). Usually this happens for less than 1 second but one time it froze like that long enough for me to get the screen shot shown.

  • Only seems to happen when using Chrome (Version 35.0.1916.114).
  • OSX 10.9.3
  • Happens on both primary monitor and when attached to secondary display
  • Does not seem to happen to other windows being shown on same screen

Is this a known issue? Possible causes?

There is a workaround listed in comment #42 -

They're still working on a better fix.

Go to Chorme settings, then Advanced -> System, and uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available. Then restart Chrome.

Shortcut: chrome://settings/system

This also removes the ability to change video background in Hangout meetings, if you were into that.
