Package: chromium Version: 29.0.1547.57-1~deb7u1 Severity: normal Please note that my comments apply mostly to POST forms where the URL is the same before and after submission. GET forms that alter the URL clearly can behave differently.
First situation A friend informed me that my PMs to him (in a phpBB forum) were doubled. Later I noticed that my firewall re-performed many actions as I went back through the page history (using the back button or <ALT><Left>). When I go back, I expect the page to be redisplayed. I don't expect the browser to silently resubmit the POST form and cause the action to be taken again. This could wreak havoc on one's bank accounts. Second situation I have also noticed that Chromium is very reluctant to release/clear form data. Submit a POST form. Click the URL and tap <ENTER>; this should load a fresh, clean page. Then enter <ALT><F5> or click the reload button. Chromium complains that it has form data with changes. When a page is freshly loaded, I expect forms to be cleared. Third situation Submit a form. Click Reload. The resulting dialog allows one to resubmit the form or cancel the action. There is no way to refresh a page if a form was used. The reload dialog should also provide an option to freshly load the page without resubmitting the form. Optionally, <SHIFT>-Reload or <SHIFT><ALT><F5> would be a nice alternative to force a fresh reload without dialog. Bug #717264 may be tangentially related to this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages chromium depends on: ii chromium-inspector 29.0.1547.57-1~deb7u1 ii gconf-service 3.2.5-1+build1 ii libasound2 1.0.25-4 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-3 ii libcups2 1.5.3-5 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1+deb7u1 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1.1 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.5-1+build1 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-5+deb7u1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.4.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libjpeg8 8d-1 ii libnspr4 2:4.9.2-1 ii libnss3 2:3.14.3-1 ii libnss3-1d 2:3.14.3-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libspeechd2 0.7.1-6.2 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii libudev0 175-7.2 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.3-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.3-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2+deb7u1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0-4+deb7u1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+nmu1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u1 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.26-14.1 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-6 chromium recommends no packages.
