Details

Description:
When any webpage is loaded, clicking the 'view site information' on the address bar makes the browser hangs , i.e. not responding to any input and not refreshing the display.

Additional info:
* chromium 51.0.2704.103-1
* under plasma-desktop 5.6.5-1 X session (x86_64)


Steps to reproduce:
Navigate to any webpage, for example 'https://www.archlinux.org'
Click on the green padlock button on the address bar to view site information, such as what is allowed and what is blocked.
The browser process hangs afterwards.

This also happens with plain http sites.

To recover from the hang state, the following command is needed: 'pkill -TERM chromium'.
This task depends upon

This behavior also happens on Gnome (gnome-shell 3.20.2-1).

I've also tried starting chromium in a clean state, by moving the config directory ~/.config/chromium to ~/.config/chromium.orig

Let's see if anybody have the same issue.

Anything in the logs? ~/.xsession-errors?

Maybe it's related to this file?

It seems that the hanging state is when chromium waits for kde wallet to prompt for gpg passphrase. When I restarted and switch to fluxbox from the login manager, this problem doesn't happen anymore.

I switched to KDE after restart and the browser hangs problem is disappeared.
