DWR 2p crashes

[jsnkuhn]

Sometimes the DWR 2p layout crashes in Chrome (i think it started around v111). This seems related to use of paint worklets.

background-image: paint();

When i turn off the paint worklets and use fall back images instead there be no crashes. It's not ideal but that's a temporary fix I guess.

background-image: url();
// background-image: paint(); //

I've filled a few bugs on the chrome bug tracker and am going back and forth with them on this. Hopefully should be resolved soon. They are currently trying to come up with the an exact version of 111 that started to have the problem.

OBS hasn't updated the browsers source version of chrome (current OBS uses 102 or 103) in a while so it seems like it might be happening soon. It's possible that they might update to a version that has the crashing problem... In that case even once the fix is in place we'll need to stick with the non paint worklet fallback for a very long time as OBS tends to update browser source version about once every 10 versions of chromium.

Here's the link to the chromium bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1446789

FYI, I've not mentioned the layout/tracking system here. But another page of mine that is having a similar issues. The mentioned page is much simpler and should be easier to trouble shoot. But once fixed should apply to the layouts

Update on this is that they fixed it in version 115 but did nothing on 113 or 114... I have no idea why.... And I couldn't get a response from them about what I might be able to do to work around it in those versions... So we now have v. 111-114 with this bug so time to cross fingers that OBS doesn't update to one of these chromium versions.

Looks like the current Extended stable release version of chrome is 114... so lets hope they don't use that one. Cuz that would mean like 2 more years of dancing around this issue.
