When I try to view any PDF in Chrome it displays a gray bar over the PDF that moves around when I scroll, but blocks my view of the PDF no matter what I do. Sometimes upon loading the entire page will be blank gray -- other times the PDF will momentarily appear intact until I scroll.
This is happening with every PDF.
I haven't identified anything that changed with Chrome when this began happening (a few days ago). I have tried restarting Chrome, restarting my computer, disabling and re-enabling the Chrome PDF viewer plugin, doing the same with all other Chrome plugins... nothing has worked. This is not happening in other browsers. Any help would be very appreciated!!
EDIT: Here are some screenshots showing the issue.
Partial coverage by gray bar:
Entire page is gray:

Seems you are not alone on this its some kind of recent bug users here having the same symptoms.

1OS X 10.9.5, Chrome Version 49.0.2623.87 (64-bit). From the thread linked by @NetworkKingPin it looks like it's a problem with Chrome 49+. That thread includes a screenshot – S E Clark – 2016-03-10T15:28:57.443
