@elliot,

I confirm that on many occasions I have black screen. It’s only for Chrome.

This happens if you have repeater field with so much rows that the combined height of the Metabox area is over 30000px.

For example check this image – it’s clear new WP3.6 with latest ACF and without any other plugin.

(800kb, notice that it’s over 30000px in height)

As you can see if you have 28 fields like this – a black background appears.

If you delete one of the fields – the white background re-appears

Usually that’s not a problem, because most of the time you don’t have many fields in one repeater. But this appears also if you have other fields in the same Metabox, so sometimes even 8-9 rows from the repeater are making the whole metabox with black background.

I cannot find in the Inspector what is making this black background, so I assume that it’s something from Chrome.

On your e-mail from elliotcondon.com I sent you access to this account to check it by yourself if you want.
