It's not just the omnibox that's unresponsive for some time at startup. It appears that anything that involves keyboard input is delayed, e.g. opening the task manager with Shift+ESC, or opening a new tab with Ctrl+T (however opening a new tab by clicking on the button to the right of the first tab is instantaneous, but then pressing a key to start typing in the omnibox lags by the same delay).
** Summary changed: - [snap] At first run, omnibox is unresponsive for more than 10 seconds + [snap] At first run, keyboard input is delayed by more than 10 seconds -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771380 Title: [snap] At first run, keyboard input is delayed by more than 10 seconds Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This seems to happen only the first time the chromium snap is run after installing it afresh (not after upgrading). Steps to reproduce: 1) $ snap remove chromium # in case it was already installed 2) $ snap install chromium 3) $ snap run chromium 4) wait for the welcome page to be fully loaded, then press Ctrl+L to focus the omnibox (aka address bar) Expected result: the omnibox is instantly focused and its text is selected, key strokes are registered and input into it Current result: there's a long delay before the omnibox is actually focused and its text selected, more than 10 seconds.
