Work around found: Remove ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache after closing
browser. Chromium works as it should when restarted. I'll leave this bug
report in place as the problem shouldn't have happened and needs
investigation.
** Description changed:
I booted my laptop this morning and was offered a large number of
updates. I installed them all and started Chromium only to find that I
was unable to type any character into the address bar. When using the
mouse to select a bookmark to load a web page I found that keyboard
input was also ignored.
I was running Chromium when last using this Ubuntu installation and made
no changes before closing down. The only changes since that last session
were made by the updates that I installed so I have attached an extract
of apt's history.log.
Google Chrome and Firefox work perfectly. Xubuntu doesn't seem to be
affected by recent updates.
