New issue 21809 by fjwcash: Opening downloaded files causes desktop effects
in KDE4 to go haywire
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21809
Chrome Version :
Chromium 4.0.207.0 (Developer Build Ubuntu build 25615)
WebKit 532.0
V8 1.3.9
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.0
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.207.0 Safari/532.0
URLs (if applicable) : Zimbra e-mail, Google Mail, probably other webmail
sites would be affected; any site with a download link
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 4: OK
Firefox 3.0: OK
Firefox 3.5: OK
IE 7: OK
IE 8: OK
Arora 0.8: OK
Arora 0.9: OK
Konqueror 4.3: OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to any page with a file download link.
2. Click on the link to download/open the file.
3. Watch as Desktop Effects go haywire, and X.org CPU usage cranks over
95% of all available CPUs.
Most often happens when downloading attachments in webmail apps like Zimbra
and GMail. Occasionally happens when downloading random files from random
websites.
Seems to be especially an issue with PDF file links.
What is the expected result?
File downloads and browser continues on as per normal. File opens in
associated app.
What happens instead?
Desktop effects (KDE4 kwin desktop effects) goes haywire. Random gobblede-
good shows onscreen. Graphical artifacts show everywhere. CPU usage for
X.org goes over 95%.
Only way to recover is to SSH in from another station, and restart X.
Only happens when using Google Chrome or Chromium.
Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackelope) running KDE 4.3.1.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
