I started getting this problem as well.
In searching, I came accross this issue https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=335248.
As best I figured out, the bug is related to:
- Windows 7/8 with Aero Theme
- Scrollbars on pages (such as in the developer console)
- Pages with popups (in particular Window.open() calls)
I guess they are slated to push the fix into version 33…and maybe leave the stable* 32 how it is (although I hope not).
So there are a few options:
- Switch away from Aero Theme until version 33 is in stable
- Upgrade to the beta channel, i.e. version 33
- Click on the Wait button every 30 seconds whenever the chrome developer tools is open.
Update:
Chrome has released a hotfix into the version 32 stable channel. http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.ro/2014/01/stable-channel-update_27.html
Thanks to @probackpacker for bringing it to my attention.
