Bug Description
I booted my laptop this morning and was offered a large number of updates. I installed them all and started Chromium only to find that I was unable to type any character into the address bar. When using the mouse to select a bookmark to load a web page I found that keyboard input was also ignored.
I was running Chromium when last using this Ubuntu installation and made no changes before closing down. The only changes since that last session were made by the updates that I installed so I have attached an extract of apt's history.log.
Google Chrome and Firefox work perfectly. Xubuntu doesn't seem to be affected by recent updates.
Work around found:
Remove ~/snap/
