Chromium overrides changes to its Application Autostart setting

[Aren Cambre]

Per a discovery I made while working on 1176903, Chromium overrides settings I make in Session and Startup > Application Autostart.

For example, suppose Chromium is completely closed, not even showing an icon in the top bar for its background process. If I go to Session and Startup > Application Autostart and uncheck Chromium, close that window, start Chromium, then go back to Session and Startup > Application Autostart, Chromium is rechecked.

Expected behavior: Chromium does not override manual changes to Session and Startup > Application Autostart without asking my permission.

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 since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Chromium and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
