Chrome Refreshes On Orientation Change 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?
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.
