It's a really bad thing when you've to develop web applications for small devices. Any ideas? Has anyone found a posible workaround?

Answer 1

There is the official bug thread for this issue:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8663

Apparently, for some users the following solved the issue:

1. Open Chrome Settings
2. Select "Show Advanced Settings"
3. Scroll down to "System"
4. Un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available"

[UPDATE]
at the beginning it was working for me.. but not it seemed not working anymore.

Answer 2

btw i found a solution or at least the problem to this one:

In my case i had too many plugins installed, and when i resized the browser to a minimum the plugins took away all of the space from the addressbar. therefore it got sort of invisible and while resizing the window to a larger screen chrome sort of forgot that it had made the address bar invisible.. so i removed some plugins from the toolbar and since then i haven't had a problem anymore!
