Comment #23 on issue 990 by dan198792: Throbber makes it appear that Meebo never completely loads http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=990
A more serious problem, however, when the HTTP version is run as an app. On Vista x64 SP1 with Aero (probably other setups as well), since the throbber is also the favicon/app icon that shows up on the taskbar, it appears to be changing too quickly for Windows to keep up. The titles of every task bar item are then frozen. For instance, if I had a Windows Explorer window open to "C:\Users", open http://www.meebo.com as an app, then browse to, say, "C:\Users\me\Documents", the title bar still says "Users". Once I close that Chrome window (or even minimize it to the "notification area" with e.g. PowerMenu), the titles update to the proper values. This happens with all apps, even other Chrome windows if I change tab. Occasionally, the titles will update if I minimize and restore the Chrome app window, but that's not terribly helpful. The HTTPS solution is a valid workaround in this case, but perhaps the app and (and/or tab) icon should simply be the favicon, rather than the throbberthrobber combo. This is how, for instance, Firefox's and IE's tab icon works. Firefox's "throbber" indicates that it's still loading as well. I don't know if this should be a different bug. It's a different effect, but a result of the same behavior. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
