Hi, I confirm since upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 chromium is fully buggy. I got the rendrering problem mentionned above, systray icons (for running apps such as hangouts) disappeared, the menus were awful (parameters menu, search bar suggestions, bookmarks, right click in page etc...) : not using kde design but a flat white strange menu.
By downgrading to previous version from saucy, I got rid of these problems. So it is clearly they come from the new version. For them who want to downgrade, here is a quick howto : -open package manager, and search for installed packages maching *chromium* pattern (for me it was chromium-browser, chromium-browser-l10n and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra) -go to this page, search for them and download from saucy repository and select the proper version against your system (x64 or i686) -close all chromium processes (this can be done using the "killall chromium-browser" command) -put all the downloaded packages in the same directory on your hdd and run the following command in a terminal : sudo dpkg -i chromium* This will downgrade chromium to previsous version, so we can wait for the fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307717 Title: multiple problems with new chromium-browser Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi Chromium-browser was just updated and there are multiple problems with it. * icedtea-plugin not detected. * pepper seems to be the only API supported now. * Maximizing/normalizing the window the top right part of the window is not redrawn. * The font size in the address line is too huge.
