Chrome v45 CSS bugs affecting Flexibase users

The recent release of Google Chrome v45 has several bugs which affect CSS transitions and the display of relatively positioned elements.The impact of this is that many sites with drop-down menus are rendering incorrectly.

If a site is affected by this bug, the menu itself will display but it will be blank, i.e. no menu items will be shown.

We have confirmed that applications built with the OpusVL Flexibase framework are affected by this issue.

While we are liaising with Google engineers to arrive at a solution, we would recommend that OpusVL customers do not upgrade to Chrome v45 until a solution has been found.

If you have already upgraded to Chrome V45 and are experiencing these issues, we would recommend using another browser until these bugs have been resolved.
