title: Google Maps API V3 : weird UI display glitches (with screenshot)
body: <p>Anyone with any ideas on what's causing this weird glitch with the google maps UI components, be really grateful to hear from you!</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ifRBi.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>the map is created with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        var options = {
          zoom: &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;zoom ?&gt;,
          center: new google.maps.LatLng(&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;centre_lat ?&gt;, &lt;?php echo $this-&gt;centre_lon ?&gt;),
              mapTypeControl: false,
              mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP                
          }; 
  
          var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), options);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the glitch is the same even with no markers.</p>
