You cannot change certain settings in the settings menu

[Zack Hixon]

UBUNTU RELEASE VERSION:
Ubuntu 12.10

PACKAGE VERSION:
23.0.1271.97-0ubuntu0.12.10.1

EXPECTED TO HAPPEN:
I expect to be able to change all of the settings in the settings menu.

WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD:
As of the latest version of chromium-browser, you cannot change some settings (e.g. what pages open when Chromium loads).

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. This bug was reported some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported using the currently supported version of Chromium? Please let us know if you do, and give examples, otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
