When I maximize a flash OR HTML5 video, e.g. on youtube, the picture freezes but the video continues to play. I can still hear the sound and even see the mouse cursor switching from normal cursor to hand cursor when I hover over the position where a control button should be but the whole chrome window becomes unresponsive.
The video is played fine if I don't enter fullscreen mode. That affects both flash and HTML5 videos.
How can I solve this issue?
System:
Ubuntu 14.04
Google Chrome Stable 37.0.2062.120-1
Nvidia-331 331.38-0ubuntu7.1

I had the same issue, people have found this thread helpful. However it didn't work for me, so I troubleshooted for a bit, and figured that it must be some clash between the kernel handling my discrete video card(Nvidia GeForce 630m) , which however seems to be fixed by installing and running tlp. Added bonus, more battery life :) :)
