Chrome Refreshes On Orientation Change

Question

I recently wiped my phone and reinstalled the same custom, rooted, stock ROM.



Since then, when I rotate the phone, Chrome rotates the display (as expected) but then refreshes the page. The loading bar goes across, a YouTube video will stop playing, and depending on the page the scroll position is lost.



Before, the display would simply rotate in place without issue.



I have never seen this behavior before and I cannot find any relevant setting to change it, including in chrome://flags.



What is causing Chrome to refresh when I change the screen orientation?

Answer

I disabled the DPI override for Chrome in the App Settings app for Xposed, and the problem went away.



Now I'll search for a different way to adjust Chrome's DPI.



Notes:




  • This issue did not occur in Chrome 52, the stock version for this ROM

  • Clearing Chrome app data did not fix the issue



In the end, I set the DPI for the entire phone to match the desired DPI for Chrome, via the ro.sf.lcd_density setting in the file build.prop. I then changed the DPI of other apps as necessary with Xposed: App Settings.
