New issue 16844 by [email protected]: Gmail + Flash = unresponsive plugin process + 100% CPU http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16844 Chrome Version : r20340 OS + version : Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64 window manager : Window Maker URLs (if applicable) : https://mail.google.com/ Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): What steps will reproduce the problem? 0. install libflashplugin.so into the plugins/ directory, launch chrome -- enable-plugins 1. open https://mail.google.com/ 2. log in, wait for all the tabs & gadgets to load 3. observe in top that a chrome process takes most of the CPU with X taking the rest 4. open a new tab at http://www.youtube.com/ 5. observe that the page doesn't load What is the expected result? Chrome should not take 100% of the cpu. This should not prevent other pages that need flash from running. What happens instead? See steps 3 and 5 above. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and backtrace if possible. In this particular case, flash adds an expose handler that ends up calling gtk_widget_modify_bg every time, which in turn creates more expose events, leading to a runaway loop of exposes. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
