Problem with LTT forum

[Guest]

WARNING!!!

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!!

 

Browser used: Chrome 64bit   39.0.2171.71

 

This morning I was chilling on forum and randomly selected this with mouse:

 

 

and it looked like this:

 

 

then I pointed space between 2 buttons like this:

 

 

than I just pressed and held left mouse button and dragged it around the screen.

Than I got little lag and chromes Aw snap page.

Tried it few more time and same thing happened.

Now ~10 hours later I did same thing and whole computer went not responding. Audio stopped. Everything stopped and HDD LED wend full red. It was like that for around 60 sec and than it slowly started to come alive.

I know 99.999% of users wont do same thing but I just think that this phenomenon should be looked into as it could lead to hardware damage or data loss on someones system from what I experienced.

 

edit: doesn't happen in firefox

I just did it. My computer survived. No lag. Nothing.

You should probably have posted this in the bugs and issues thread (linked in my signature).

That said, the issue must a result of a browser and/or hardware issue because there's no way for a site to cause something like this, so I would advise that you file a chrome bug.

Nothing happens for me, it is perfectly smooth and doesn't crash.

Oh no I do believe you I get similar bugs with other things on Chrome. Just that this one didn't do a thing to me at least

I am running 39.0.2171.71 64bit version and it says it has update. After update it asks for relaunch and After that it checks if everything is done and asks for new relaunch than again and again. I had that loop problem earlier.

Sounds like your chrome installation might be corrupt. Try uninstalling and reinstalling, and if that fails, file a bug report as I linked earlier.

Ok I have updated my browser to Version 39.0.2171.95 m (64-bit) and I do have the same thing as you explained. Comes up with the Aw Snap screen when I try to drag it around but it doesn't freeze or anything like that so I can click Reload and it's back to normal. Didn't happen before I updated.

I just installed Chrome Beta and everything is back to normal. I was meaning to switch to Beta anyway so Also got a new handy feature where you can easily switch users in Chrome for the time a friend comes over:

I got quite a few problems with chrome crashing and other completely random stuff once, so I installed Chrome Canary. Never had issues since. I would recommend you try that.

So they already solved that bug if it doesn't happen in beta
