This issue has very recently been fixed in Chrome 45.0.2454.93 so there should be no need to use this if you have the latest version of Chrome

The code below is only left in for reference.

You can fix this with CSS:

function chromefix_inline_css()
{ 
  wp_add_inline_style( 'wp-admin', '#adminmenu { transform: translateZ(0); }' );
}

add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'chromefix_inline_css');

Add that to your theme functions.php file and it should fix the problem. There's no check for the Chrome browser specifically, but it appears this fix has no adverse effect on other browsers, so no harm done.

If you just want a plugin to do it: https://github.com/raffjones/chrome-admin-menu-fix
