Issue

README > Common problems > Blank screen in Chrome contains the following advice:

When running headed tests with X11 forwarding in Cypress v4 you might see a blank Chrome screen. Try disabling memory sharing by setting the following environment variables:

export QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1
export _X11_NO_MITSHM=1
export _MITSHM=0

  • The variables mentioned have progressed through to

    # disable shared memory X11 affecting Cypress v4 and Chrome
    # https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-docker-images/issues/270
    QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 \
    _X11_NO_MITSHM=1 \
    _MITSHM=0 \

    where these are promulgated to all current Cypress Docker images.

Change

Since a manual workaround is no longer necessary, the section README > Common problems > Blank screen in Chrome is removed from the README document.
