I'm using jquery 1.8.2 and toggleSlide animation to smootly show search input box but that have two issues on chrome - one of them I've separated into a jsfiddle
$('#hiddenBlock').slideToggle(500);
$('#inputHiddenBlock').slideToggle(500);
$('#but').slideToggle(500);
On chrome open this fiddle and click button - write some text in the textbox and click button again twice - one to hide second to show again - text is now invisible and stay that way until get refreshed by f.e. writing one more letter.
This maybe also connected to second issue, which is seems connected to canvas/displaying text - it allow cut letters like 'l' in half....
In that example you see 'l' and 't':
