Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded chromium on Debian stable (buster) from
83.0.4103.116-1~deb10u3 to 87.0.4280.141-0.1~deb10u1.
After this upgrade chromium becomes completely unusable to me, which
means, that the chromium window isn't rendered as expected.
When I open a website or click on a link the web page doesn't show,
also the tab title isn't updated, only the window title changes to the
new page.
Sometimes (if page is already in cache) it seems that the web page is
shown, but usually not completely updated.
But there is a trick to get the web page rendered: Switch to a
different screen and back here and after this the browser window is
rendered as expected.

Dear Roland, dear Maintainer,
this bug may really be a duplicate of #979017 or be related to it.
I have the same issue as described in the present bug on an old-ish
laptop with a 3rd generation i7 and using the integrated Intel GPU.
After disabling hardware acceleration, chromium
87.0.4280.141-0.1~deb10u1 became functional again. On the other hand, I
don't reproduce the issue on a desktop with a discrete nVidia GPU. The
issue may be specific to Intel GPUs.
I would like to ask Roland to test and report.
Best regards,
Pier Luigi Pau
