After scrolling, input method editor (IME) windows appear far from the current text area. (Issue 7651)
The Web Inspector (right click > Inspect Element) does not work. (Issue 7800)
Issues with commands on pop-up windows: the context menu has most commands disabled, reload and view source do not work. (Issues 7615, 7635, 7804)
Saving web pages does not work. Save as.. (Ctrl+S) appears to save to your Downloads folder, but it creates a file in the Application\2.0.164.0 directory. (Issue 7616)
Some pop-ups and tabs load pages, but the title remains 'Untitled' and the address bar shows 'about:blank' as the URL. (Issue 7625)

Let us know about any issues you find by filing a bug. --Mark Larson, Google Chrome Program Manager

Stable and Beta Update: Incognito Mode Fix

вторник, 3 февраля 2009 г.

Google Chrome's Beta and Stable channels have been updated to 1.0.154.48.
The change in 1.0.154.46 to fix Hotmail caused a problem for users in Incognito mode trying to access sites which depend on the User-Agent header. This header identifies the type of browser making the request and should be part of every request, even in Incognito mode. This issue is now fixed. There is also a security fix for a bug (analogous to CVE-2007-3670) where command line arguments could be injected and executed by getting a user to click a link in certain other browsers.
See http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel/release-notes for the release notes.
