Remove mention of Mesa for Chromium bug #6776

Description

@rzhao271

Can whoever is in charge of the release notes delete the mention that this issue has anything to do with Mesa? It has nothing to do with this issue, this is 100% a pure upstream Chromium issue bug. Mesa makes no guarantees that compiled shader objects should be compatible across updates to mesalib, libdrm, xorg libraries, llvm etc. There's nothing wrong with keeping a cache of those things, but the correct behavior is to discard it upon obvious errors and compile new objects to replace them.

Source, I help maintain a popular Linux distro and have seen this issue dozens of times across multiple Chromium applications. The following commands are our recommended first troubleshooting step whenever a user complains about rendering issues with Chrome(ium) or an Electron app:


find ~/.config -name GPUCache -exec rm -rv {} +

find ~/.cache -name GPUCache -exec rm -rv {} +
