Version 33.0.1706.0 Canary
OSX 10.9
Retina Display

Tests work fine in regular Chrome.

Fails with 500 error on http://localhost:5578/test?magicPattern=8a36052d02c5645bb97fc46e

Failed to find test pattern on screen. Ensure that your browser's zoom level is set to "100%", and the top-left corner of the window is visible. If you have multiple displays, try moving the browser window to the main display.

Single built-in display. I made sure browser zoom level was set to 100% and the top-left corner is visible.

Interestingly, if I bump the zoom up to 150%, it works. Perhaps it's a retina issue.

Interesting. I can't reproduce the issue on my retina macbook with the same version of Chrome Canary and OS X. Do you have your retina display set to a "scaled" resolution in system preferences? Which specific retina macbook do you have?

Another thing that can cause this error is if you have your Dock on the left side of the screen and the drop shadow is slightly overlapping the top-left corner of the window. Programs like f.lux or Shades that darken the whole screen could also cause this.

Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013

I did have it scaled, but tried it non-scaled, still no work.

I have Dock on the side, but it auto-hides, and the window wasn't fully against the side of the screen in each test anyway.

Here's a screenshot:

I do have a lot of the chrome experiments enabled. Possible one of them is affecting it.

Got it. Broken when "experimental Web Platform features" is enabled.

chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features

Cool, thanks for the info! I can reproduce the problem now. I'll bet they
changed how devicePixelRatio works or something; I'll look into it.

I get the same failure, but do not have #enable-experimental-web-platform-features enabled.

Win7x64/30.0.1599.101 m.

  • Zoom 100%: check.
  • Main monitor (of 2): check.
  • Top-left visible: check.

Thanks for the report k3n. I've filed a separate issue for Windows multi-monitor problems: issue 5
