Thanks very much. One individual on AskUbuntu says the problem is fixed in a beta release of Chrome but your solution works for all apps which is nicer. Cheers, Mark

Being that I sync bookmarks with Chrome across Linux, Windows and Android it would be a stretch to move to Chromium. I did determine that Chromium on my Linux machine is fine, and I set Firefox to load on monitor#3 so I have a solution, but I will test your idea. Thanks, Mark >

Found this today: https://piunikaweb.com/2021/09/23/google-chrome-94-use-system-title-bar-and-borders-checkbox-broken/ To fix the problem: you will need to head over to the chrome://flags page and find the “use-ozone-platform” setting. Make sure to change it from default to disabled, restart your Chrome browser and you will be good to go." I can confirm that this worked for me here. It seems to be a Google Chrome bug that is fixed / being fixed in the next version (also from the above link).

Glad to know at least it works for you. Kubuntu updated Chrome this morning but the problem still exists. Assuming user error on my part, do you or anyone else reading know of any KDE System Settings that might tell KDE not to use system title bars on a certain application window? Maybe something got set or tweeked that's causing this problem? Sadly still no response on the KDE list. Thanks, Mark

[gentoo-user] Chrome - no system title bar or boarders
Sorry to cross post. I put this on the KDE list yesterday but no responses. As I run Kubuntu I thought that it would be a better place to start. Starting yesterday morning both of my KDE machines no longer show a system title bar or border for Chrome, and only Chrome. All other apps are fine. Right clicking the Chrome tab area has a checkbox for 'Use system title bar and borders' but it does nothing. Chrome version 94.0.4606.54. Losing the title bar means losing (as far as I know) the ability to pin an instance of Chrome to all virtual desktops which I use for browser streamed media - YouTube, Netflix, etc. I've switched that window to Firefox for the time being. As Gentoo is usually a bit further forward I wondered if anyone here using Chrome and KDE has seen this issue? Thanks, Mark
