Can't access ESPACENET in Window 10 with Chrome Browser

Post by infotree » Tue Apr 19, 2016 4:54 pm

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue which just popped up in the last couple of days for me.

With my PC using Windows 10 (fully updated), and the latest version of the Chrome browser, and get this message when I attempt to access the ESPACENET site " Aw, Snap! something went wrong while displaying this webpage".

I have no issues accessing ESPACENET with my Chromebox, Chromebook, or Android tablet or my PC using the Microsoft browser.

I have send off feedback to the Chrome browser team, but no response.

Anyone else?

It is a Chrome bug at 125% zoom:

Same problem in Windows 8 + Chrome. (Works fine in Internet Explorer and on Windows 7 machine.)

Have tried and failed to reset the zoom.

Have checked all Updates, Plugin and Flash settings etc.

Prefer not to have to reinstall Chrome etc. if possible (have already lost half a working day trying to solve the problem).

Any suggestions more than welcome.....

Solved, after several attempts, using:

espacenet/topic4866.html

but with Reload icon and CTRL + 0 instead of the suggested keys - the finger gymnastics are easier to coordinate.

Thank you.

Any estimated time for a fix of this issue? Tried the workaround, but seems not to work on my Chrome under Win10.

Thanks.

Dear Todd,

No, there is no time frame. It should work on all Chrome versions affected. If the zoom is 125% then it needs to be changed. Should you have the same issue with 110% and 100% the problem has a different nature.

Tab crashed feedback.

Repaired in Windows 8 using Reload and CTRL + 0.

Cannot repair in Windows 10....

Try scroll mouse, ctrl-reload while scrolling. Worked for me.
