Public bug reported: Problem description:
I had a couple of tabs open in incognito mode and the Chromium window was minimized/didn't had the focus. Suddenly, the desktop icon vanished then reappeared, but the new icon indicated that Chromium was not running (no "dot"/running indicator next to the icon) so I couldn't get to my old tabs/session. Steps to reproduce: 1) install chromium from snap snap install chromium 2) open chromium in incognito mode 3) open a site in a tab 4) minimize the browser 5) wait for snap to refresh the chromium version 6) notice that you can't access the browser executing from the old snap version as it's no longer visible from the launcher, only the new one is there Workaround: 1) start chromium from the new snap 2) open the "task manager" 3) double-click on one of the process tied to an old tab from the previous snap version Additional information: # snap info chromium name: chromium summary: Chromium web browser, open-source version of Chrome publisher: Canonical✓ contact: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap license: unset description: | An open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web. commands: - chromium snap-id: XKEcBqPM06H1Z7zGOdG5fbICuf8NWK5R tracking: edge refresh-date: today at 08:39 EST channels: stable: 72.0.3626.96 2019-02-13 (595) 153MB - candidate: 72.0.3626.109 2019-02-15 (606) 153MB - beta: 73.0.3683.46 2019-02-21 (618) 153MB - edge: 74.0.3710.0 2019-02-21 (617) 154MB - installed: 74.0.3710.0 (617) 154MB - # dpkg -l snapd | grep snap ii snapd 2.37.1.1+18.04 amd64 Daemon and tooling that enable snap packages # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release: 18.04 ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: snap -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817329 Title: [snap] update hides the running browser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1817329/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
