Also I cannot _download_ files. In the dpkg installation, they were saved to /tmp and could be opened with the appropriate helper program (e.g., Evince). Now I see the download in the bottom of the browser bar, but the file will not open (clicks are ignored). chrome://downloads/ displays them, but again I cannot open them. *Show in folder* silently does nothing. They downloads are not in ~/Downloads/ or anywhere else I can identify.
Worked around by going into chrome://settings/downloads and changing the default download location to ~/Downloads. This works, though now I have to set up a script to delete old downloads—I cannot rely on the system’s built-in behavior of clearing /tmp after restarts.
