[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 1105322] [NEW] Some settings not saved or applied

[joehill]

Public bug reported:

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.

Other users have reported similar problems here:

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