(sigh) I created a new user account on my old system. I can create new windowed apps. (webapp?)
I went back to my regular user account and moved ~/.config/chromium/ (514.3MB) to the desktop. I could not open existing webapp window bookmarks; they don't even go to the correct URL. There must be some stuff in there to link the bookmark to the correct URL SO I deleted the fresh .config/chromium folder and copied the desktop one back and then I used Chromium's Settings --> Advanced -- Reset Settings and ~/.config/chromium/ shrank the folder to 148MB I can get the old bookmarks to open the correct URL but they still don't open in a separate window. I also notice that when I create webapp links Chromium creates a file on my desktop called something like "~/Desktop/chrome- kjbdgfilnfhdoflbpgamdcdgpehopbep-Default.desktop" I don't remember it doing that before the recent update? If it did I must have deleted them long ago. I'm beginning to wonder if the cruft is in GNOME somewhere? I need to do some work at the moment but I'll try some more things later -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895199 Title: web apps no longer launch into separate windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1895199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
