Title:
Characters mixing up in address bar
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I hope this wasn't reported already, but couldn't find any recent
reports.
This is a relatively new bug, I don't think it was in v34.
I often move the cursor to the address bar using F6 and instantly
start typing my URL / search term afterwards. F6 leads to a quite
noticable freeze while the suggestions box (or whatever that box below
the bar is called) loads, at least on my aging ~5 years old system.
Same issue when opening a new tab and starting to type, the
suggestions take a while to load so chromium freezes for some time.
That's not a big issue, but any characters I type during the freeze
may come up in wrong order once chromium unfreezes. Sometimes they are
ordered correctly, but quite often some of the letters are swapped. So
it's not just in rare circumstances, but the freeze is not that easily
reproducible because it seems to happen only when the bar wasn't used
for some time. When there's no (or only a very short) freeze, there's
no bug.
At first I thought that my typing skills have suffered a lot because I
was googling for slightly wrong terms all the time, but then noticed
that chromium (or something that handles input and passes it to
chromium?) is to blame, not me. [Or maybe I really hit the keys in a
wrong order all the time while thinking that it is correct, but that
seems unlikely, since I usually fix those finger syncing typos
unconsciously.]
