Check boxes disappear in Google Chrome

At work I’m using Google Chrome 3.0.195.38 on Windows XP, and recently the check boxes on various pages have disappeared. I tried to upgrade to the latest BETA version, but this didn’t resolve the issue. I un-installed and reinstalled to the current version (the one I just mentioned), but this still didn’t resolve the issue.

Further investigation revealed that someone has reported the following:

This bug is still existent in 4.0.249.30. It seems to happen randomly, and can be fixed
without exiting the tab or browser by right clicking the Windows task bar, going to
properties, then simply pressing OK.

I tested this myself by right-clicking on my Windows task bar, then selecting ‘Properties’.

right click windows taskbar properties

I then simply press the ‘OK’ button.

windows taskbar properties okay button

After this I refreshed my page, and whala! The check boxes re-appeared.
