Public bug reported:

This morning, I upgraded gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common from
42.5-0ubuntu1 to 42.9-0ubuntu2, and I noticed that chrome no longer
renders properly. Notice the missing image header on the Ubuntu website
and the garbled right click menu here:

I downgraded to gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common version
42.0-2ubuntu1, restarted gnome, and the rendering issues went away:

I upgraded gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common again to the latest and
the rendering issues came back. Going to chrome://settings/system and
disabling hardware acceleration fixes the rendering issues (but now I
don't  have hardware acceleration).
