Ubuntu – Youtube showing horizontal lines when full screen in google chrome

13.04google-chromeyoutube

First, im new to Ubuntu so please bear with me.

My Google Chrome shows strange behavior when playing Youtube videos in full screen mode. There will be some horizontal white lines, which is exactly like when you are playing the game without the vsync.

I've checked Firefox and the videos working perfectly in there. I also tried to play videos from my HDD using VLC player and its working fine. It seems the problem is in the Google Chrome alone.

My version of ubuntu is 13.04, my laptop is asus n46vz and i use the latest release of Google Chrome.

I've tried to ask Google, but it seems they have no answer.

Thanks for your time 😀

Hey I had the same problem and I realized that my browser zoom was at 125%. If you bring it back to 100% then the black line goes away in full screen.

To change zoom press Ctrl+- or Ctrl++ depending on what way you need to go to get back to 100%.
