Flickering in Chrome and odd behaviour of Snipping Tool

Description

Hi,

since version 5.0.8 I have a terrible flickering in Google Chrome. No matter the website, but it makes it impossible to read or use these websites. Same Website in Internet Explorer doesn't flicker.

Snipping Tool: Sometimes when I click on new screenshot the snipping tool window becomes part of the background, sometimes it leaves a white space where the window was and sometimes it works normally. Haven't figured a trigger that reproduces or avoids it. Workaround is is to abort the screenshot and try again.

Setup: Host: openSUSE Leap 42.1 RC1 Virtualbox from virtualbox.org, not from the openSUSE repos. Guest: Windows7 Pro 64bit Dual Screen on host and guest. 128mb Graphics memory for the VM. 3d acceleration enabled for that vbox. Graphics driver on the host: radeon [ 5.335] (II) LoadModule: "radeon"

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM]

I tried VBox guest additions both w/ and w/o the 3d support, no change. Only disabling 3d acceleration in VirtualBox helped.

Kind regards Vonor

VBox.log is missing.

I just randomly stumbled across this, I have seen the same behavior running Chrome / Chromium on a native install so its likely a chrome issue.
