Bug Description

I had my browser running for a long time, noticed that when saving a page or downloading a file, icons in the save dialog are missing (see attached screenshot).

Checking "snap info chromium", it seems the snap has been recently refreshed, so I still had the older version of the app running.

Restarting the browser fixed it.

Thanks for the report Alberto.
This is a symptom of a known problem, namely that snaps shouldn't auto-refresh if there's one of the apps currently running. This is being addressed by https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/wip-refresh-app-awareness/10736. Until this is live for everyone, I'd suggest running:

    snap set core experimental.refresh-app-awareness=true
