Description Evan Teran 2010-08-09 21:20:00 UTC 
The omnibar is broken when compiled with the latest gcc. There is an upstream bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=41887

There are a few workarounds suggested such as compiling with -fno-ipa-cp. But currently there is a patch that works around the issue by using different but equivalent code to manage the omnibar's completion/search lists which Arch Linux is using. The patch can be found here:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-browser-svn/chromium-browser-svn/search-workaround.patch

it would be nice if this patch were incorporated so that the omnibar works again.



Reproducible: Always

I'd like to get a suggested ebuild patch using -fno-ipa-cp and a confirmation that it solves the problem. gcc-4.5.0 is not even in ~arch now, so some breakages are really to be expected.

Done, thanks for the report.
Comment 3 Evan Teran 2010-08-11 00:28:46 UTC 
can we have this applied to www-client/chromium-5.0.375.125 as well?

That one is stable, and gcc-4.5 is not even ~arch. I might consider merging the fix with the next stable channel update, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
