Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jose Mico (jose-mico)]

The bug was introduced in rev 1275 (85.0.4183.83).

Previous rev 1269 (84.0.4147.135) was working fine.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

And this is fixed in revision 1279 (now in the stable channel).

The corresponding commit is https://git.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/+git/snap-from-source/commit/?h=stable&id=6f619f7ac589a5e8343dc0cde275a5eec83bdc15.

[Simon (sbentl)]

Thanks everyone, just updated on my machine and it is now working as expected.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

For future reference, here is the corresponding upstream commit: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/991f4aabb715c027664a007f814c08cb2175674e.
