Public bug reported:
I noticed that after the switch to a snap in eoan, in a case where I
knew I had manually shut down chromium cleanly, I got an error on
restart saying that it had not been shut down cleanly. Digging around
on the filesystem led me to realize that a snap refresh had happened and
the profile had been copied over while still in use.
The unclean shutdown message is annoying but not critical. More
important is that this means any data written to the profile (cookies,
passwords, etc) by the still-running instance of the old chromium, after
the snap refresh, are not retained.
