New issue 19852 by [email protected]: changing bookmark URL to empty string in JSON file with sync enabled is bad http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=19852 [from http://b/1906729] So bad, it causes a ring of death. Repro Steps: 1) Client A & B both are enabled sync and connected with same use account 2) Have few bookmarks in both clients and they were in sync 3) Now Client A closed chrome and modifies the bookmark JSON file (as empty URL is not allowed by UI) to ensure one of the synced bookmark has Empty Url and empty name. Start the chrome on Client A 4) Client B is online at this point and syncing. Actual: Chrome should never crash and should ignore this Empty URL bookmark Expected: Chrome crashes (repeats every time restarted) on Client B. Chrome is not at all usable for this Client B anymore as it crashes everytime on start. [/copy] This should be an easy fix to the client, but once someone gets one of these bookmarks in their system they may possibly have to wait for the upgrade before passing --enable-sync again as they'll just crash otherwise. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
