Chromium 58 on Ubuntu 3D rendering issues

[davidhoness]

My version of Chromium recently updated from 53 to 58 on my Ubuntu box and now I see rendering problems with the Astro Pi model. The rendering defects are accompanied by the sliders and pitch/roll/yaw bars appearing and disappearing rapidly while the model is being moved.

The rendering problems are:

• Parts of the case are missing or see-through
• Textures are missing
• The LED matrix cannot be seen

I wonder if something they changed broke everything?

Here's my Chromium version details:

I've found similar parts-of-the-UI appearing and disappearing behaviour when looking at the TriDiv.com Xwing example.
