Browsing Chrome unable to click messages

[hollinger1]

So, with the latest update, I notice that, while browsing Chrome, whenever I get a pop up that asks for example... "Google would like to use your current location" or "this site would like to send you notifications"... I am no longer able to select yes or no. On my iPhone, I'm able to.

How can I correct this?

Do you have any screen dimming apps installed? Apps that can draw over other apps can sometimes interfere with onscreen buttons.

No dimming apps, no.

But I do have several apps that can draw over other apps. Should I try to turn them off one by one?

I noticed this too, and happened right out of the gate when I first set up my V60. More an annoyance than anything, because you can just as easily press the back button to exit it. The downside is it'll just ask you again the next time. I've had a few Chrome updates since, and still a problem.

Totally... My issue exactly.

Wouldn't hurt to test that out. You shouldn't have to uninstall the apps -- just turn of that permission to draw over other apps.

Turned off all permissions and it's ok now... Do any apps need to draw over others?

It depends on what they need that permission for. Any app that needs to create a popup window (like LastPass, for example) needs that permission. As mentioned before, screen dimmers need that permission, I guess because the way they get a screen to dim far below the normal minimum is by drawing over the whole screen with some sort of overlay. How many apps had permission?

You could simply keep using your phone as usual, and see if you get any alerts that an app needs permission to draw over other apps.
