We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported in 2015 and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time.
Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-life on April 25,2019. Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported when using currently supported versions of Ubuntu and Chromium? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time. Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

At this point you still have mouse pointer control. Click around on the launcher a few times, nothing gets launched, and then Ubuntu itself completely freezes up. The only escape is to press down on the PC power button and force a hardware shutdown. This behaviour is intermittent but has happened twice since the above mentioned system update.
