Dynamic lighting issues in chrome when map larger than 52x52

After several hours of testing today I determined that at least the current version of Google Chrome is incapable of displaying a map with dynamic lighting turned on without black screen errors when the map is larger than 52x52. Tested on a few computers by a few different people with the same result. To see what I mean, make a map of 53x53 or larger then zoom all the way in and try to scroll to all 4 corners. You will invariably end up seeing black rather than the map. It happens regardless of if the map is blank or populated with stuff. It will work when zoomed out further, but to get full range of zoom the map has to be 52x52 or smaller. Is this intentional or a bug? Note, you have to look at it from a player's perspective as the DM sight deactivates the dynamic lighting.

Do you have "Enforced Line of Sight" enabled on your test page, Andrew? If that's enabled, any character that a player has control of will only see as far as their sight is listed as. Everything else will be solid black. Also, what percentage is "full range of zoom"? I've tested at 10% and 200% on a page that's 80 x 114 grid units, and the player's vision is what I would expect to see in Player Mode. Have you given any tokens that the players control with the Has Sight toggled on? Do they have a light radius set under Emits Light?
Turning dynamic lighting on at all even on a totally blank map with no visual barriers placed blacks out the entire screen it if the map is larger than 52x52 in chrome. Smaller and it works as expected. Fully zoomed in refers to 10%. From a player's perspective who has sight turned on, using Google Chrome, try to scroll all the way to all 4 corners in a totally blank 100x100 map for instance. I have global illumination on as well so there is no sight radius as there are also no visual barriers and brightness across the entire map.
I'll make and post a link to a video of what i'm talking about. Making it now.
