Sorry about not giving you this before.

Another possibly related happening: at the New York Times website I look at slide shows of homes for sale. Today I noticed that the captions for the pictures don't stay on the screen; they just sort of slide to the bottom.
Now I haven't looked at this section for maybe a week so I don't know if the trouble is related to this problem or not. I'm writing the NYT next. Will keep you informed of anything I hear.
This does appear to be a bug introduced by Chrome. (On Windows at least, Chrome OSX is fine, let me know if you experience differently.)
I have looked at a workaround, but as a non-critical issue, I have decided to leave as is for a few days to see if this is discussed elsewhere, or even fixed.
As a short term measure, you could try Firefox (or even Edge!) which does not have this problem. Either way, this will be fixed soon, one way or another.

I'm not worried about it excessively. Just was asking. I still can't help but think the automatic update I got the night before is the culprit. I was wondering if you could find a Knowledge Base article on it. I'm tempted to uninstall that update.
The New York Times which is also giving me an error it hadn't before is giving me no help. Typical message: try restarting windows and/or Chrome, or whatever.
Thanks again for your help.
