Title:
  browser windows get thick black border, resize badly

Status in xwayland package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  (I am not sure if xwayland is at fault or the session or window
  manager or the browser apps. It happens under Wayland using gnome-
  session and gnome-shell and to both Firefox and Chrome browser
  windows, but not to any other app.  These are the only browsers I
  use.)

  After using a browser for a while (both Chrome and Firefox), the
  transparent "halo" around one or more (but not generally all) of its
  windows may acquire an opaque color.  This is usually an image of
  whatever was behind the window when the bug triggers, but eventually
  gets filled in as all black.

  Sometimes when this happens, resizing it larger and smaller clears the
  problem, sometimes not.

  Sometimes when this happens, resizing the window larger will result in
  the window staying the same size and place, but the border expanding
  into a larger black background rectangle, without the window resizing
  at all.

  Sometimes when this happens, resizing the window smaller will result
  in the window image being truncated without resizing, and upon
  resizing larger again, the window maintains its small, truncated size,
  sitting in the corner of a larger black rectangle.  If the portion
  including the titlebar buttons in the upper-right gets truncated, it
  becomes impossible to click maximize, iconify, or close.

  A workaround is to open a new browser window, select all the tabs, and
  drag them to the new window. That window will act normally for a while
  (a few days?) and then may be susceptible to the bug.  The windows
  that have this happen to them seem to be the most-used ones, so maybe
  it's related to the number of user window interactions or moving
  between monitors.  I have some browser windows with tabs I use only
  rarely.  These stay minimized most of the time and rarely if ever
  suffer from the problem.

  If it matters, I use sloppy focus.  This is the only substantive
  change from default install.

  Obviously, expected behavior is not to have any of these things
  happen.
