webElement.isDisplayed() throws an invalid exception.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Selenium version: 2.44.0
OS: Windows 7
Browser: Chrome
Browser version: 40.0.2214.115
chromedriver: 2.12.301325

It only occurs on this page 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/afghanistan-avalanche/2015/02/26/74dd15e2-bd
c1-11e4-bdfa-b8e8f594e6ee_gallery.html and other gallery pages in terms of this 
site. And only in chrome. 
This doesn'y happen in 100% cases. But appr. every third/fourth run fails.

Here is the simple snippet to catch this issue.

List<WebElement> allNodesList = 
TestSession.getWebdriver().findElements(By.cssSelector("*"));
for (WebElement node : allNodesList) {
    try {
            if (node.isDisplayed())
                //Do something             
    } catch (StaleElementReferenceException e) {
        logger.warn(e.getMessage());
    }

the exception occurs on the line: node.isDisplayed()

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Runtime.evaluate threw 
exception: Error: Error: An invalid exception was thrown.

I am not able to reproduce the problem.
Tried your test code on the versions 1) mentioned by you as well as 2) on 
latest versions of selenium 2.45, chrome browser 41 and chrome driver 2.14
Can you please try with latest version and let us know if you see the issue

I'm not sure whether the new version helped or I presented too oversimplified 
code with something important ommited but I'm not able to reproduce the problem 
neither with this snippet nor in any of real tests.
