New issue 26191 by UncombedCoconut: Line count in downloads tab can  
oscillate distractingly
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26191

This is a minor annoyance. I doubt it's Linux-specific but I haven't been
able to test on other platforms.

Chrome Version       : 4.0.223.11 (Official Build 29916)
OS + version : Arch Linux (package is aur/google-chrome-dev 4.0.223.11-1)
CPU architecture x86_64
window manager : metacity

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start a large-ish download and open chrome://downloads/
2. Resize the window horizontally so the file name plus status line (e.g.,
303.5 kB/s - 1529.7 kB of 58.6 MB, 3 mins left) is almost exactly as wide
as the window
3. Watch as download speed & ETA oscillate

What is the expected result?
A steady display appears, with the numbers changing as the download
progresses.

What happens instead?
A rapidly shifting display appears: the status line is alternately on the
same line as the file name or wrapped to a new one, depending on the width
in the current font of the digits in the status line.
If the file name's width is "just right", this behavior can be triggered
without step 2.

It would probably be better if any necessary line-wrap would "stick" until
the window is resized.
