Chromium not working until password dialog answered

[Marius B. Kotsbak]

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

If you start Chromium and it opens a lot of tabs/windows from last session and one of them includes a HTTP basic auth displaying a login dialog, the browser is not usable until that dialog is answered. What makes this annoying is that the dialog might just be visible in another window/tab and not pop up when you try to use the browser.

Looks a bit like this one: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22615&q=password%20dialog&colspec=ID%20Stars%20Pri%20Area%20Feature%20Type%20Status%20Summary%20Modified%20Owner%20Mstone%20OS#makechanges

When trying to reproduce it now, I was not able. It might depend on if the tab with the dialog box is in the same process as the non working tab?

Natty have reached EOL since a while and that issue is not confirmed by other user(s)
As many new versions are also appeared, your problem might have gone.
