I started experiencing a severe problem with Chromium recently that makes web browsing a very tedious experience.
It took a while to narrow it down, but it seems that whenever the print dialog is invoked, either manually (eg ctrl-P on the keyboard) or by a page when clicking on the "printer friendly format" link, the entire browser crashes. This happens on two separate Arch installs.
I personally would love a method to disable the printer dialog from ever popping up anyway, since I don't even have one (so if someone can suggest a method, I'd love to hear it), but this bug is a serious problem, as the crash is unrecoverable. And if my session ends up with a page that invokes the dialog on its own, I have to clear out the entire session.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Can anyone suggest a solution?
I had not, but I can confirm the behaviour with chromium 20.0.1132.57-2 on x86_64, running xmonad. I get a total freeze of chromium (have to kill -9) if I hit C-p, or hit "print" from the menu. -- Jeremiah Dodds github : https://github.com/jdodds freenode : exhortatory
