New issue 5868 by tero.vaananen: Browser freezes with flash content when tabs are closed. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5868 Chrome Version : 1.0.154.42 URLs (if applicable) : tested http://www.covers.com, but problem repeats on numerous websites, any website should do. Other browsers tested: Firefox 3: OK IE 7: OK REPRODUCE PROBLEM: 1. Open a tab with flash ads/content. 2. Close tab quickly as soon as the page starts to load. 3. Repeat if browser did not freeze. EXPECTED CORRECT BEHAVIOR: Page should load fine, flash ads, videos, animations should work. Tab should close fine, even when flash content did not completely load. INSTEAD: After a few repeats, you should have a frozen browser. Content in all tabs stops working. You can still switch between tabs, open new tabs, close tabs, view menus, etc. but you may not interact with the web pages, can not load new pages, can not refresh pages etc. The browser essentially stops responding. No CPU is used. After a while, you may get the 'aww Snap!' window in the tab, but browser remains otherwise unresponsive. Closing the browser window does not close the processes. The processes hang until killed manually. OTHER: My system is Windows XP, 2 Gig memory, Flash plugin v.10.0.12.36 This problem has persisted since the beta launch. Flash plugin version does not matter. Chrome version does not matter. Usually the problem does not occur during regular browsing because people wait for the page to load, but sometimes, seemingly randomly the browser will freeze due to this problem on about any website that serves flash ads or content. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
