Public bug reported:
With 'Restore previous session and Chrome active at moment of crash results in
100% reproducible unusable state.
Because the 'Restore'-button of Chrome when clicked, will inevitably render
the cursor into a 'finger' like a hyperlink without any way out but a hard
reboot.
At that reboot, Chrome will come up inevitably, with the offer to 'Restore'
with a click, which will result in a cursor showing a 'finger' like a hyperlink
without any way out but a hard reboot.
Ad infinitum.
My only way out here was to NOT click 'Restore' in Chrome, wait sufficiently,
and then all my 30+ tabs were gone; lost. It took me almost an hour to get them
back; hopefully complete.
How to reproduce:
1. Set 'Session management' to 'Restore previous session'
2. Start Chrome, open a plurality of tabs.
3. Reset PC hard
4. After reboot, click the automatically offered button 'Restore'
Expected: Normal start of all previously open sessions and proper
restauration of Chrome tabs
Actual result: Cursor turns into 'finger'-shape, keyboard becomes
unusable, so does any mouse interaction (no click, neither on
applications nor buttons ('shutdown'!))
Workaround: Disable 'Session management' 'Restore previous session'
and change it to 'Session management' 'Start with an empty session'
Reproducibility. 100%
