Maximizing Chromium displays empty browser window

When maximizing Chromium from a minimized window that was previously maximized (that is, fully integrated into the global menu), Chromium only displays an empty white page where my web pages should be. When dragging Chromium from the title bar to restore it to a window, detached from the global menu, Chromium displays sites and tabs as expected.

On a side-note, I tried the same with Chrome, and Chrome is not affected by this.
