Snipping tool and window borders
-
I recall reading back in the day there was like a 65,536 x 65,536 pixel limitation. You'd still need quite a few 4k monitors to make a rectangle that size. (Also it might have been fixed years ago, my memory is vague.)
IIRC, the issue comes in when you want to have both monitors as part of the same desktop. The graphics card only supports a certain maximum size. You can have bigger layouts, but you end up not being able to drag windows from monitor to monitor. And I think that's all vendor specific.
I've never run into that issue myself.

still is AFAICT. i was talking about the graphics cards themselves which tend to have rather smaller limits due to internal design limits.
still searching for that article..... i know i read it again recentlyish.

The only problem I've seen is it opens drop-down menus the wrong way. (They open to the left of the menu header, not to the right. Even when there's plenty of space to the right.)
Hmm. That might explain it, but is there any other cause for this? I see it even when I disconnect from the external monitors and am working only on the laptop's own screen.

I hated it. Ended up turning it off pretty quick (couple of options under chrome://flags will turn it off, specifically disabling "Enable new profile management system" and "Enable the new avatar menu").
I don't know why they implemented it, it's not like Windows hasn't had functional user profiles for, gee, I don't know, twenty years?

Some of us have multiple online identities that we like to keep separate. I have 3 separate gmail accounts, for example.
Or maybe you want to have different Chrome setups for certain sites. In sure there are other reasons as well.

I have an inventory of EVERY BUG EVER in my head so I can easily answer this question.

So? What's the answer?

Ya know, if it were anybody but Blakey, I'd interpret that as sarcasm. It can't be, though. Blakey always says exactly what he means — nothing more; nothing less — so I have to take his claim at face value.
Blakey, why didn't you answer the question? It's kind of dickish to say that he knows the answer, then not tell us what it is.

it's always black in screenshots
I wonder if depends on the screen capture tool used... I triedxfce4-screenshooter
andscrot
. Maybe the KDE screen capture tool is more intelligent...it's always black in screenshots and nothing can go there; anything attempting to go from bottom right on the left screen ends up bottom left on the right screen
In my case, if I drag a window to the offscreen region, its contents are captured in the screenshot:
It even renders the drop shadow!Amusingly, dragging the window restores the garbage pixels behind it (regardless of whether “Display Compositing” is enabled or not)

Those pixels are just never set to a defined colour; they're real existing pixels in video memory.

And you can always check for yourself. Or are you now incapable of using the interwebz?

“Display Compositing”
I initially read this as "display composting" which somehow seems apposite given the garbage.

Chrome is maximized.
That will be the issue. Windows will be adding the width of the window decorations to the size of the content region, even when maximization means the window has no decorations. On a single-screen system, I expect that the result would be clipped against the screen size.
