Details

Description:
I had few weeks break since last upgrade and now chromium is crashing very often:
* every time I try to type ę ą ś etc in URL bar (in order to search, not use in URLs)
* quiet often when I right click (e.g. to fix spelling because sth is marked red by spellchecker)
* in other more random moments

Additional info:
* package version(s)
chromium 62.0.3202.75-1 x84_64
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
* open and try to type ę in URL bar, then it exit with:

FTR: It also happens with clean chromium configuration, i.e. without any extensions etc.

Issue persists after downgrading chromium to precedent release(61.0.3163.100-1). Dependency problem?

I was able to reproduce it using 'LANG=C chromium'. Until this is fixed, please verify you are using UTF-8 locales (check with `locale`) which should avoid this issue.

Thank you!

I confirm that running with :

LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 chromium

Solved issue of crashing when typing "ę" in URL bar.

As other where happening occasionally, let me back this solution for a while to figure out if other crashes solves as well.
