Google Chrome 43, which was released in mid-May, has introduced several problems for applications using the ExtJS 4.x or the Sencha Touch 2.x frameworks. For example, the 'painted' event is no longer fired, list components cannot be scrolled, submenu items disappear, and the loadmask no longer plays the spinning animation. This is mainly caused by the removal of the formerly deprecated 'overflowchanged' event. As a reaction, Sencha has offered three overrides, which need to be required in app.js. The overrides can be found here.
