On upgrade to chromium 64 from the stable-security suite, I get a
reproducible crash every time I try and print anything. The normal view
appears momentarily and then disappears, with a crash (backtrace attached,
though as there doesn't seem to be a chromium-dbg package any more, I'm
not sure how useful it will be?)

Chromium 63.0.3239.84-1~deb9u1 does not have this problem.

Thanks,
Dominic.

I tracked this problem down to having enabled strict isolation mode
in response to a recommendation at the time meltdown was announced.

As far as I can tell this is still the only option for protecting
aginst meltdown/spectre attacks within chromium, so it's not great
to have to disable it, but I'd be happy to be corrected.

I disagree with the new severity of minor, as this bug certainly does
affect the package's usefulness - I just had to switch to firefox to
print a web page to PDF.

Dominic.

I can confirm that this is the cause of the problem for me too. Thanks
for tracking it down!

I am having the same issue. Chromium version 64.0.3282.119-1~deb9u1
exhibits the problem while version 63.0.3239.84-1~deb9u1 does not.

I also am running with strict isolation enabled.

I also agree that this is not a minor problem. It is actually kind of a
big problem since there is now no way to safely print a page from
Chromium. Turning off strict isolation is not a safe work around as far
as I know.
