As a little clarification on the above subject, this effect happened when I invoked the console mode (Ctrl-Shift-J) and then tried to emulate a web page on a mobile emulator already available on this console environment of Chrome. It's clear that the emulation mode is ON (the 5 mm diam. black dot appears) and I cannot revert into the "normal" mode as the screen goes to black and I have no control of the PC. Thanks

It works fine, but whenever I try to invoke the console mode (Ctrl-Shift-J) the cursor changes to a black dot (about 5mm diameter) and shortly after the screen goes dark with no possibility to recover it again. Tried lots of combination of keys pressed and the only thing to do is to switch off the computer with all work and navigation done completely lost. Don't know how to solve this. Uninstalling and installing again Chromium does not fix anything, problem is still there. When running another web browser like Firefox this does not happen. If anyone knows how to fix this I would be very grateful, it's a desperately strange bug don't know how to cope with. thanks a lot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1346377/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
