Discovering another culprit for inconsistent rendering in Chrome... Whitespace!
While working with a horizontal row containing three boxes that were meant to perfectly fill the width of the row, I noticed an issue in Chrome where occasionally the third box would wrap to the next line even though it should have fit. Upon closer examination, I found a small gap between the first and second boxes in these instances. Drawing from past experiences, I suspected that whitespace might be the root cause, so I decided to remove all whitespace between the open and close tags of the three boxes. The structure changed from:
<div class="row">
<div class="box">
Some box content...
</div>
<div class="box">
Some box content...
</div>
<div class="box">
Some box content...
</div>
</div>
To:
<div class="row"
><div class="box">
Some box content...
</div
><div class="box">
Some box content...
</div
><div class="box">
Some box content...
</div
></div>
By moving the closing angular brace of the closing divs to the next line, with no whitespace at all between the closing and opening tags, I was able to resolve the issue. While this problem is not new, it can still catch you off guard when it occurs inconsistently. Interestingly, I've only observed this behavior in Chrome.
Although this question has been answered before, I wanted to share my solution as it may help others facing similar "inconsistent rendering in Chrome" issues. Despite previous suggestions not working for me, this adjustment proved effective for my particular situation.
