Actually it is possible to click on some buttons if one is able to locate them with the mouse without seeing them. By Clicking on "Chromium Web Browser" in the top bar of the screen, it is possible to open a new window which is visible, but the window has not loaded any personal configuration (bookmarks, extensions etc.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chromium-79.0.3945.79-1.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ssh -X -f user@host "/usr/bin/chromium-browser" 2. a blank (white) window opens 3. click on "Chromium Web Browser" in the top bar of the screen and select "Open a New Window" 4. a normal (visible) chromium window opens, but all personal configuration (bookmarks, extensions etc.) is not loaded Actual results: a blank (white) window opens first, it is possible to open a second window but without all personal configuration (bookmarks, extensions etc.) Expected results: a visible window is opened and all personal configuration is loaded. Additional info: chromium 78 works fine (as it has always done) over an ssh tunnel.
