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’.
I then simply press the ‘OK’ button.
After this I refreshed my page, and whala! The check boxes re-appeared.
Thanks a lot man, this works perfectly :D
This is weird, but worked well, thanks
Amazing – thank you
you can also do this:
open taskmanager: ctrl-alt-delete
close it: alt F4
if you don’t release the “alt”-button, it only takes a split second…

Thank you for your post. Chrome was very unkind ;)
Now I know.
Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely LOVE Chrome!! I haven’t had this issue come up in a quite a while now, even though I sometimes have to hit refresh (F5) for pages I’m trying to load here at work because I get some sort of error (don’t remember it right now).
