Chrome and an Chromium-based App Periodically Freeze After Returning from Locked Screen

by

from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H9EC)
Am running Linx Mint 20.1 Cinnamon on a Thinkpad T480 with 5.8 Kernel.

I need to use Chrome-based browser for business reasons, with Chrome preferred. My issue with freezing is consistent regardless of whether I use Chrome or Chromium. If I keep Chrome running (or Chromium) and the screen goes to the lock screen and I unlock, Chrome will be frozen. All other system functionality is fine. I can move the browser around the screen, but navigation is dead (consistent whether Chromium or Chrome). I've tried turning off the lock screen, but even then my monitor will power manage itself and turn off after a while. I tried turning off hardware acceleration, turned off swap, disabled extensions, uninstalled and purged, all to no avail. I am running the 5.8 kernel, but the issue manifested itself with 5.4. I also tried implementing this to no avail: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspo...bugs.html#ID25

I use WaveBox (Chromium-based) to manage various messaging apps (e.g. Slack, FB Messenger, etc...). When Chrome freezes, so too will Wavebox, with same type of behavior. Clicking anywhere within the app does nothing.

For grins, I'm tried to see whether this behavior manifests itself in a different Chromium-based browser. After a few hours the same issue cropped up in Vivaldi. Firefox is not showing this behavior. I left Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi, and WaveBox open overnight. Sure enough when I release the lock screen, Chrome and Vivaldi would no longer take input from the keyboard or are responsive to mouse clicks (I can move the windows around the screen, but that's it).

My gut is that there's something about my setup and the Chromium code base that's off.
