An interesting bug in Google Chrome OS
I recently wrote about Cr-48 , the first laptop with Google Chrome OS. Ever since I have tortured him mercilessly, and sometimes even send bug reports back to Google. But today I ran into a rather interesting, in my opinion, bug that I want to share. Discussion, suggestions, questions - Wellcome.
How to reproduce the bug and screenshot - under the cut.
So, to see what I saw, I probably need the laptop itself. Not sure what will work on compiled versions on a different hardware, although attempts to reproduce anywhere are welcome.
Next, install the Drop Box extension. We click on it and in the unfolded window we click on “View standard”.
Further, in the same pop-up window, a standard dropbox page appears. Click on “Upload”, and then on the half-hidden “Choose files” button.
')
This window opens (here is only a fragment of the screenshot, full, by reference):
Well, one wonders, where is the "inaccessibility of the file system for the user"? At least you can see and walk through directories without a developer mode ...
I would like to note that the Chukchi is not a hacker and not a programmer and not an ardent linuksoid, so I can’t effectively take advantage of this and rummage around it, and I don’t know if this bug is worth such an honor as a topic on Habré. Therefore, I say - let's open the discussion in the comments, if you want me to try something and press the buttons (it's not too fatal for a laptop) - I'll do it.
PS Here, some comrades raised a tantrum because of the full screen. In particular, comrade Homm denounced me with shame for the full-screen screen in his topic . And he even sent me an edited, as far as he made it clear, screenshot in which empty areas were cut. To all of this, I can say the following: 1. The windows in my case are not resized. 2. This screenshot is a proof of the bug, so editing it somewhere, somehow changing it, imposing effects and adding ryushechki means discrediting it as proof. He was sent to Google in this form, he is shown in this form under the cut here. 3. It is necessary to distinguish between a screenshot for educational purposes, where it does not matter what and how it is placed in the screenshot, the main thing is that it serves as an illustration of the text, moreover, you can control this yourself by resizing the windows and selecting / opening certain menu items, cutting out just what you want to show and so on, and a screenshot that was made for purely technical purposes, where editing or any other change only hurts. I hope, I spoke quite clearly and correctly about this.
PPS Because The perturbation does not stop, in the article only a piece of the screenshot. According to the link - full. I still think that distorting the screenshots is wrong, so this is a compromise solution.
