Current setup

Dex station EE-MG950
Galaxy Note 10+
Monitor

Dex launches on monitor as expected

Launching and using Chrome when the phone screen times out is problematic.

For example, 
Plug phone into station
Let the phone screen timeout

Launch Chrome in DEX
     Chrome either appears solid white or solid black.
     New tabs cannot be opened

 

If you then wakeup the phone, it works

If the phone times out again, issue comes back.
It is also observed that the scrolling in Chrome is broken as well if phone screen has timed out

 

 Samsung support asked that I increase the phone timeout but I do not feel this is a valid solution.
For example, I would then need to decrease the timeout each time I unplug the phone.
Otherwise the battery life would be reduced due to screen being on longer than it needs to be

I think this is an issue with Chrome itself.  I can confirm that the problem isn't present in Chrome Dev version 84.  I think the solution is to either use Chrome Dev now or wait until Chrome eventually gets to version 84.  It is on version 81 now.

DO NOT OPEN THAT LINK or you will be flooded with ads and might even get pop-up ads on your phone all the time. I repeat, DO NOT OPEN THAT LINK. This person is only trying to make money from S Members with stolen content. Don't reward this shameful behavior.
