Is anyone else having this issue? I create websites for a living, and some employ the use of the css property background-size: cover. All of the sudden about 1 week ago, all of the sites with this property no longer display right in Google Chrome. (all other browsers are working fine.) Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it just MY google chrome or did something change? Because the backgrounds were displaying properly until about a week ago, and I did not change anything. They just stopped displaying properly, seemingly out of nowhere....

Best practice: always set background-image first and then background-size.
