This does not affect just input: on some other sites i am seeing mouse clicks being only partially processed, i.e. the click causes part of the content to be updated, but another part remain stale. I am seeing this in particular on JS-based pages (99.99% these days). Unfortunately this makes chromium unusable for services where i cannot tolerate crashing the tab in the middle of a transaction (bank, shops, reservations etc.) Haven't done a deep investigation, but it worked fine with 13.0.782.112 and broke when i updated to 14.0.835.X (both versions). The commit logs show some changes (tcmalloc, v8) that might be related to what i am seeing. >How-To-Repeat: open a spreadsheet in google docs, play with it for a while, until you'll see that keypresses and clicks are not processed anymore. >Fix: no idea >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
