Public bug reported: The page chrome://settings/passwords is supposed to list all passwords currently known to Chromium, and offers a search box to filter them. This has always had a performance problem for me: the page rendering would freeze for a few seconds when loading or after typing in a filter phrase before the list of passwords was displayed, during which time UI controls inside the page would be unresponsive.
At some point about a couple months ago, while using Xubuntu 16.04 (all updates), this page just started freezing *forever*. The “Passwords” dialog renders, and initially there is a blinking cursor inside “Search passwords”, but after a moment the cursor disappears; UI controls like the scrollbar are unresponsive; the Chromium process consumes 100% CPU; and no passwords ever appear. The URL tab is responsive; when I close it (via mouse or Ctrl-W), I am asked to wait or kill the page. Passwords are still filled in for me when I navigate to a matching web site, Chromium still offers to save new passwords, and I can still view saved passwords using seahorse. It is just this special page which has become unusable. I am not sure what the trigger condition was—whether an update to Chromium, or some change in my passwords. Still broken after an update to 16.10. Tried to use “Record JavaScript CPU Profile” but this just froze too after I clicked the “Stop” button.
