Ipfs-companion: Popup render issue in Chrome

[alanshaw]

If the popup receives an update than changes it's height whilst it is animating in then it goes bad:

Hm was not able to replicate so far, seems to be specific to Chrome.

Is this the same issue as https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=457887 ?
Its over 1 year old, and they prioritize things oddly (eg. it took 4 years to fix background-size), so we may want to address this on our side.

Perhaps we could detect running in Chrome and producing some kind of additional, delayed update after initial load?

@alanshaw mind checking if changes merged with #336 helped by any chance?
I suspect this is platform-specific (macOS?).

Hi @lidel, unfortunately I believe this is still persisting (I'm also on macOS accessing using Chrome).
Chrome version I'm on is: 63.0.3239.84

This thread had a few work arounds people had found for the bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=428044

Thanks @jnthnvctr! @olizilla was able to replicate it in https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/pull/354#issuecomment-356303354.

tl;dr it is indeed specific to Chrome on macOS (potential explanation)

I am looking for a volunteer with a Mac to go over potential fixes in #355 :)

[lidel]

Seems to be fixed in current master – https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/pull/355#issuecomment-368478592
Feel free to reopen if happens again.

[olizilla]

@lidel it's happening again on the beta-channel chrome release

also, i don't have permissions to re-open bugs on this repo, plz can haz?

[lidel]

@olizilla added you as collaborator – try to reopen this issue now :)

I had a potential fix shelved, so I created a PR #441 with it.
As I do not own a Mac, mind taking this over?
