Package: chromium Version: 13.0.782.107~r94237-1 Severity: normal Hi! Thanks for maintaining Chromium in Debian!
I am currently a user of the Galeon web browser and I've recently installed Chromium, in order to check whether it fits my needs as my new primary browser... While playing with Chromium, I noticed what appears to be a bug. I have my preferences set with "Do not allow any site to run JavaScript" checked and I haven't (yet) set any exceptions. The JavaScript interpreter seems to be indeed disabled for all the (remote) websites I visit (good!). However, if I open a local HTML file (including embedded JavaScript code) from the command line, as in: $ chromium ~/my_html_file_with_js.html chromium fails to disable JavaScript, until I refresh the page (which may be too late, in some cases...). I think that this is a bug, since, when I say "Do not allow any site to run JavaScript", I really mean it, with no exceptions (unless I explicitly set exceptions, of course!). My impression is that Chromium reads my preferences too late, when opening a file or URL given as a command-line argument, thus rendering the page and starting the JavaScript interpreter before realizing that I do not want the JavaScript interpreter to be enabled... Or maybe the cause of the bug is completely different, I don't know for sure. How can this bug be fixed? Thanks for your time. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages chromium depends on: ii chromium-inspector 13.0.782.107~r94237-1 page inspector for the chromium br ii libasound2 1.0.24.1-2 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.13-16 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcups2 1.4.8-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.14-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.94-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libevent-1.4-2 1.4.13-stable-1 An asynchronous event notification ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libflac8 1.2.1-5 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.6-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.6.1-4 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.32.4-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.4.6-9 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.23.5-3 GDK Pixbuf library ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.4-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjpeg62 6b1-2 Independent JPEG Group's JPEG runt ii libnspr4-0d 4.8.9-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.11-1 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.46-3 PNG library - runtime ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex codec runtime library ii libstdc++6 4.6.1-4 GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvpx0 0.9.7.p1-1 VP8 video codec (shared library) ii libwebp0 0.1.2-1 Lossy compression of digital photo ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxslt1.1 1.1.26-8 XSLT 1.0 processing library - runt ii libxss1 1:1.2.1-2 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1-2 desktop integration utilities from ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime chromium recommends no packages.
