Still having problems with Gmail rendering in Google Chrome. My work around has been to use Firefox for email and Chrome for everything else.
Well, that's kind of silly.
Today, I started setting up Firefox for full time use on my Acer Aspire One. Got rid of the system bar, found a cool Grateful Dead theme. imported all my bookmarks ...

With the previous story, I wanted a screen capture of my Gmail inbox. My 'Print Screen' key on the Acer Aspire One wasn't working.
To fix this, first I opened up the Synaptic Package Manager and made sure 'xfce4-screenshooter' was installed.
I then opened up the 'Keyboard' dialog box under 'Settings' on the menu. Once there, I selected 'Application Shortcuts' and then clicked the '+ Add' button. I typed 'xfce4-screenshooter' In the open 'Command:' box. After clicking 'OK' I touched my 'Print Screen' button, which assigned the command to that button.
I love hunting down, figuring out and then fixing these kind of things. It keeps my mind supple.
My Acer Aspire One upgraded to Google Chrome Version 21.0.1180.57. Gmail is not rendering properly anymore.

Notice how you can't see the email. It is at the bottom of the screen with no vertical scrolling bar. Usually, the displayed email box is level with the 'Compose' button.
Google Reader, Calendar, Drive all render fine.
Currently investigating the issue.
