Unfortunately this is a magical Chrome bug that cannot be worked around except by other websites that aren’t this one ;)
Just to be fair to ol’ @wumpus here, according to the Chrome bugpost someone else links upthread of where I linked, this is supposedly happening on other platforms other than Discourse. Just because I’ve never experienced it elsewhere but consistently do while using Discourse doesn’t mean it’s a Discourse-unique bug, meanspirited text above notwithstanding ;)
