Title:
  Some settings not saved or applied

Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I go to the Chromium "Settings" page and change settings, some of
  the settings are not applied and then do not appear as changed when I
  close and open the "Settings" page again. For example, I check the "On
  start-up -> Continue where I left off" and when I reopen the
  "Settings" page it is not checked. When I check "Downloads -> Ask
  where to save each file before downloading," it also does not remain
  checked if I reopen the "Settings" page and I can't get it to prompt
  me for where to save downloads. Changes to the "Privacy" settings also
  cannot be saved, as only the first option remains checked at all
  times. Some changes seem to have an effect, such as the "Appearance"
  and "Web content" settings.

  Strangely, chromium's behavior seems to have little to do with what
  persists in the checkboxes. For example, I can't get "Offer to save
  passwords I enter on the web" to stick, but chromium offers to save
  passwords anyway. With the privacy settings, it seems to be using a
  prediction service although that option is not checked. Although I
  can't get the "continue where I left off" setting to stick, it
  continues where I left off anyway.

  The original poster in this thread suggests it has to do with a
  reinstall, but I have not reinstalled chromium.
