Question

I see a white flash in Google Chrome when I load the following very basic “Hello, World” program:

http://mobdealio.com/124

It’s a single index.html file.

The white flash only appears when the page is loaded in a brand new Chrome tab or window. If you reload the page a second time in the same tab or window, the problem flash doesn’t appear.

This should be a comment, but I can’t add a comment at my current level on StackOverflow.

It seems that this is a recent bug with Google Chrome. I’m getting the same behavior using Chrome on Win7. I can stop the behavior from happening by disabling the adding of markers to my map in my code. Simply commenting out

new google.maps.Marker({
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(e.lat, e.lng),
    map: map
});

“Fixes” my issue (white flash goes away). Unfortunately I can’t do this because I need my map to display markers!

The issue doesn’t occur after the page content is already cached, and doesn’t occur in Firefox at all.
