#11764 (comment)

Did you search for similar issues before submitting this one?
yes
Describe the issue you encountered:
Opening new windows show chromeless completely white before the window frame etc are loaded.
This gives me a feeling of beeing not solid software and reminds me of 'badly packaged electron webapps'. I thought this was just due to me using webpack watch mode but i was shocked to see this is the behaviour in the release version too.
Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):
mac os
Brave Version (revision SHA):
Brave 0.14.2
rev 10539c2 and before
Steps to reproduce:
1. start brave
2. open new window
3. stare at a white, completely chromeless window for fractions of a second
Actual result:
i see a white square
Expected result:
i see a browser window
Will the steps above reproduce in a fresh profile? If not what other info can be added?
yes
Is this an issue in the currently released version?
yes
Can this issue be consistently reproduced?
yes
Screenshot if needed:

I am getting permanent white window on Windows 10 with Node v7.8.0

AaronNGray · 2017-04-08T23:30:46Z

Getting simular on Linux as on windows but with a menu and window title.

jonathansampson · 2017-04-09T06:05:05Z

@AaronNGray Could you share a screenshot of what you're seeing from both Windows 10, and Linux? Your report sounds different from this issue (since your white-window persists).

AaronNGray · 2017-04-09T16:37:05Z

On Windows 10 it is a featureless white full screen window with no borders. I will do a screen shot for Linux when in a bit.

@AaronNGray You appear to be running a preview build of Brave (presence of a Debug menu). Which version of Brave are you presently testing? 0.14.2 Preview? Can you press Shift+F8 and see if there is any output in the Console?

AaronNGray · 2017-04-09T20:24:00Z

@jonathansampson I cloned master and followed the default instructions.

AaronNGray · 2017-04-09T21:26:09Z

On Linux pressing Shift-F8 gives me developers mode panel on left hand side

I am getting this output on the console I should have posted :-

aaronngray@aarongray:~/GitHub/browser-laptop$ npm start

AaronNGray · 2017-04-09T22:23:09Z

Thank you, @AaronNGray. We'll be looking specifically at performance issues in the very near future. I appreciate your assistance in providing this helpful feedback!

AaronNGray · 2017-04-13T23:51:35Z

I cloned from master.

@AaronNGray That is what I assumed; we'll be dumping some performance improvements into master before too long. Thank you for helping us keep an eye on things :)

AaronNGray · 2017-04-14T01:11:43Z

Its not just a performance issue, the white screen/widnow is permanent. I should have raised it as another separate issue. I was trying to build Brave so would appreciate how to get it to work which release to use.

@AaronNGray Ah, sorry for the confusion. I happened to have been looking at a performance-related issue that manifested itself as a white screen. My contexts were muddled-up. Please excuse my ignorance :)

If you like, we can hop on a call via Skype or Google Hangouts and look into the issue you're facing.

jonathansampson · 2017-04-21T01:25:12Z

@EricGrahamMacEachern Can you press Shift+F8 and report any output in the browser's console?

EricGrahamMacEachern · 2017-04-21T01:52:21Z

@jonathansampson No the console is also completely white.

luixxiul · 2017-05-04T15:07:00Z

Opening new windows show chromeless completely white before the window frame etc are loaded.

I notice the issue on the PC which is relatively new (bought a half year ago). The window is blank for several seconds. Lately I started noticing the issue more often after the function to detach tabs was implemented.

luixxiul · 2017-05-04T15:12:40Z

I added the needs-triage label just now. Please add a milestone and labels if necessary, thanks.

bsclifton · 2017-05-09T06:56:13Z

I believe the original issue (seeing white for a bit) is well captured with #5309

When the screen is completely white, we have some steps in our wiki you can try:
https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/wiki/Troubleshooting#window-is-solid-black-or-solid-white-looks-like-a-blank-page

~~I'm going to close this issue as a dupe~~

luixxiul · 2017-05-09T11:34:29Z

@bsclifton I thought the issues were bit different; blank new tabs (which load images) vs blank new windows (which do not load images but data-reactroot). I assumed that the latter was the problem here, as the 1st post by @lucidNTR. The other issue (AMD driver compatibility) above is the duplicate.

luixxiul · 2017-05-09T11:37:51Z

STR by @lucidNTR

start brave
open new window
stare at a white, completely chromeless window for fractions of a second

bsclifton · 2017-05-09T15:29:10Z

@luixxiul good call- I missed the part about new window (I think I wrongly read it as new tab)

Let's reopen this issue 😄

The root cause will likely be similar. Chromium has a default of white for the web contents when it's created, IIRC. We should determine what we want this to look like (keep as white, fade in? default to black?)

cezaraugusto · 2017-11-01T02:41:52Z

^ ya this is a big one I'm including it in there
