Hi there !
Something strange happened this Saturday, and I would like to know if any of you faced the issue.
First : I am using a Retina MacBook Pro, from Early 2015, Base model (13.3 inch, 128GB SSD, 8 GB RAM). Software-wise: Latest version of Catalina, latest stable version of Google Chrome.
Now, the issue.
A few months ago, with Chrome Hardware Acceleration enabled (as it is by default), when I launched Netflix with the subtitles ON, fullscreen mode, the screen was flickering, just after displaying a subtitle text.
Now, the same flicker occurs, but after 10-15 minutes it gets... Worse. Pink or white horizontal lines appears all over the screen, and the computer freeze.
I have to force shutdown it, and after the restart, an error message appears.
The problem can be triggered everytime now.
Once I disable Hardware Acceleration in Chrome, or switch browsers, everything is fine (No issue with Firefox, even Microsoft Edge, with HW Acceleration ENABLED seems to work!).
Can you reproduce this bug for me ? I bring the thing to an Apple Certified Service Center, they said there is no issue with my Mac, and that it's only an issue between Chrome and Netflix...
... Am I the only one to use a 2015 rMBP, Catalina, Chrome, HW Acceleration, Netflix and subtitles ??? Can you test it for me ?
Thanks ! (Sorry for my bad english)
