New issue 17959 by [email protected]: Clearing the cache causes UI to become unresponsive http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17959 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Have a cache that you've never cleared before. Ever. 2. Wrench > Clear Browsing Data... 3. Check only "Empty the cache" and "Everything" as the period 4. Click Clear Browsing Data 5. Switch back to the browser and try to close/create new tabs What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to be able to close/create tabs. Instead nothing happened until the cache was finished clearing (~1 minute), then all UI actions took place. In other words, big jank. Without digging into it too much, I imagine there's some contention between the IO and UI threads. It's an edge case, but maybe it's symptomatic of other jank issues. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
