What I did, is just switch to window mode instead of full-screen mode and the problem no longer exists.

Hope the problem fixed because full-screen is better.

This is a chrome issue, looks like. Can you try the solution mentioned here: #783 (comment)

[ztrhgf]

I had same problem and setting chrome flag what @hovancik mentioned helped!

Have same problem.
Problem occurs when break setting is "full screen". When breaks setting is "window", it works fine.

By tapping another tab, and then go back to the previous tab, scrolling works again. Need to do this procedure after every single mini break.

Version: 1.4.0 (offline installer)
System: windows 10, 64 bit. 16gb ram. Chrome browser. Windows update and Chrome is both latest version.

Edge and Firefox seems to work, but not Chrome as I use.
Problem exist either with or without external monitor.
I am not sure if I want to alter the default chrome settings which could give more workload on the system.

Since the problem happens only in "full screen" setting, and not in "window" setting, perhaps it could be a possible workaround to add an option in settings for "full screen (Chrome users)", which is just almost full screen. Perhaps that will not trigger the freeze for all Chrome users.

Do you think that could be a solution to the problem @hovancik ?

@jt007 you can use Windowed mode and specify 99% or sth: https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly#break-window-size-
