Chrome/Chromium issue

Namely as the thread title states, I'm having a bit of an issue with both Chromium and Chrome.
I prefer using Chromium usually (and updating once per month), but yesterday's trunk builds were apparently not for me because some pages wouldn't render at all and it took a reload to get things going, while others were plain unresponsive, so I switched temporarily to Chrome (which seems to be working ok).

But that's not the core issue.

The problem I'm experiencing on both browsers (and this issue is prevalent from the earliest versions to this day) is that whenever there are miniature images on forums that can be expanded on the same page by clicking on them, it would appear that Chromium and Chrome both actually rescale it into a negative value instead of expanding the image into a positive value and original size, thus previewing them is impossible (unless they can be opened in a new tab - and one of the websites doesn't allow for that).

Anyone experience this negative scaling issue in Chromium/Chrome?
If so, is there a potential fix?
All images load up fine in the browser in their avatar size, but if the website has the option to expand the image to it's original size from the avatar on the same page without leaving it, it simply resizes it into a negative making it even smaller, approximately a pixel wide.

This issue is not apparent on Firefox or IE, just Chromium/Chrome.
