Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Only seems to impact Chromium web browser, all other right click menus seem to work normally. I only see a solid block of mixed characters. I tried updating to the latest Chromium version, 100.0.4878.0 (Official Build) snap (64-bit) but no change. Anyone have a suggestion?

  • This sounds like a bug. Please report it. If the problem is only with Chromium, maybe you should purge and reinstall it . – Nmath Feb 13 '22 at 20:20
  • Thanks, I'll try to do that. – JohnG Feb 13 '22 at 20:22

    Chromium 100.0.4878.0 is in the latest/edge channel. "Edge" by definition means "unstable". If you don't want to install unstable software, switch to latest/stable channel, where current Chromium version is 98.0.4758.80. – raj Feb 14 '22 at 23:47
  • That's not the problem. This issue started with the latest update. At that time I was using Chromium 98.0.4758.80. When the problem appeared, I updated to the latest version of Chrome hoping that would fix the issue. It did not. – JohnG Feb 16 '22 at 14:15

For me, the issue went away when I switched from using the built-in Radeon Graphics driver to the proprietary one distributed by AMD.

So I suspect it's a graphics library issue.

My system has integrated Radeon graphics for a AMD Ryzen 3 2200G processor.

  1. Downloaded from here: http://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/latest/ubuntu/focal/

  2. Executed the downloaded .deb file.

  3. Installed via: $ amdgpu-install -y --usecase=graphics

as per: https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/21.40/install-installing.html?highlight=ubuntu#installing-the-all-open-use-case
