Bug Description

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

After today's update from Chromium 6 to 7, I'm unable to search by using the omnibox. In order to reproduce:

1. Press Ctrl+K while focusing the browser
2. Type some word and click enter
3. The browser should use your default search engine and give back the corresponding results page. Instead, it does as if no enter key would be pressed

This is a regression from Chromium 6.

I think that this is the chromium upstream bug 41887, so I added a bug-watch.

This is gcc 4.5 bug. A work-around will soon land in trunk, i'll backport it to stable for natty once tested.
