Yesterday afternoon, both Chrome and Chromium started behaving oddly.
When I drag a tab out of it's parent window to create a new window
(this is something I do a lot, every day), it works normally until I
release the mouse button. Then, instead of staying where it's put the
new window will follow the mouse cursor around the desktop anytime Chrom(e|ium) has focus.

It looks like this has been fixed!
But now the "Use system title bars and borders" option doesn't work.

Strangely the dragging a tab problem has never occured for me on
Kubuntu.
I run stable so I haven't seen the fix in Chrome beta yet but
good to know it's coming. In my case I took Frank's suggestion
and implemented the window on a virtual desktops and now I
don't have to mess with my mouse and the title bar pin.
Yes, I tried that. In my case it just made no difference. Everything
worked on Chromium as suggested but I couldn't (easily - I'm very busy
right now) figure out how to get Chrome and Chromium to sync bookmarks
and passwords and I want Windows, Android and Linux (all flavors) to
be in sync if possible.

I think the window dragging problem only happened with some window
managers.
[regarding titlebar breakage]
I run stable so I haven't seen the fix in Chrome beta yet but
good to know it's coming. In my case I took Frank's suggestion
and implemented the window on a virtual desktops and now I

Did you try the fix mentioned elsewhere: go to chrome://flags and
disable something with the words "ozone" and "X11" in it?
That fixed the titlebar problem for me.

I use Chromium on my computers and Chrome on my phone and the
bookmarks are kept in sync without any action on my part. It seems
there is no difference between Chrome and Chromium in this regard.
If it is still working, that is great news for users of Chromium-based browsers that aren't Google Chrome, but I don't think it is safe to
expect the behavior to continue.

It's Google. It's not safe to expect _any_ behavior to continue. :)
