Comment #17 on issue 3939 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Regression: Browser crash with drag and drop http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3939
I've never seen it crash in a way that is described here but I discussed this a little with Ben today since I saw a report from Support about a similar crash <b/1508182>. Ben said this might be related to the problem where tabs jump out of the tabstrip, which is something I can relatively easily reproduce although it can take up to a minute to do so. Here is what I did... 1) Open three random sites, each in its own tab 2) In one of those pages go to a download site and start downloading a file that takes a while to download (minutes). 3) Now put some additional stress on your machine, ie. open a Command Prompt in Windows, and issue an expensive directory search - say... all text files on your disk (doesn't matter which search, as long as it takes a while): c: cd \ dir *.txt /s 4) Open another command prompt, and issue a different search (say dir *.exe /s) 5) Now, while the file is still loading and the two searches are still running, try the following using only the mouse: a) switch to tab A b) move the mouse cursor below tab strip c) switch to tab B d) move the mouse cursor below tab strip e) Do the above for tab A, then B, then C, B, A, B, C, ... (always moving the mouse below the tab strip). You'll notice that Chrome periodically becomes just a little janky and once it animates back to life it has sometimes flung the last tab I clicked on out of the tab strip and into its own window. According to some users, putting the tab back causes a crash like this one. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread? tid=47c77dec8fb4edd2&hl=en&fid=47c77dec8fb4edd200045c9c949306fa This one is also noticing a similar thing, although with Open link in new window, which did not repro for me: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread? tid=6f21b37acab6fc3a&hl=en&fid=6f21b37acab6fc3a00045c9cf7d662fb -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
