A short list of Chrome issues (beta 2)
text 21:43:00
An update on the issues listed in December:
- You can’t invert open behind - on Safari command shift click opens in a new window behind the current one with command click opening in a new window in front/focus, whereas Chrome is hard-wired to do the opposite (and with tabs to boot)
- Tab moves between all link and form elements, not just form elements (Gmail does this on Safari now too. Boo!)
- There are no command key shortcuts to open bookmarks in the toolbar
- The combined text/title/URL completion in the “Omnibox” means you have to go too far into a URL to easily work around the lack of command key shortcuts
-
You can’t set a default font size, so sites that honour relative fonts (like delicious, and (in places) Twitter) now have Huge Idiot Typefaces- fixed, in Preferences > Under the Hood
-
While Chrome sensibly uses the keychain (so, like Camino, it can share usernames and passwords set up in Safari) it doesn’t offer to complete the username part, meaning more typing- this seems to be fixed too
- Crashes on pasting a rich text post from Tumblr back into Tumblr
- Crashes on importing my (admittedly huge) Safari history
On the other hand, I am pleased to see that a request for the zoom button to instead maximise has been rejected as “Invalid”.
