I'm closing this now due to:
1) Issue has gone without comment for over six years
2) No response to comment #2 after over a year
3) Upstream report closed "WontFix (Closed)" on 2016/11/25
4) issue reported against a release that was EOL nearly 6 years ago
** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time.
Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) reached end-of-life on May 16, 2014.
Do you still see a problem
At the moment, only Chromium's versions of packages are being used, so
it is likely the bug exists at the Chromium level. Also, there is a
report from Windows 7 as well, so it is likely with Chromium.
