While the CVE numbers look similar CVE-2024-4671 vs. CVE-2024-4761… these two issues are seperate. Yes we are talking here about two 0-days almost back to back.

Must be a pretty nasty one given the lack of information...

This version slows to a crawl and all but stagnates when clicking through job entries in LinkedIn's "Top job picks for you", despite clearing all cookies and site data and deactivating all extensions. It's not the site's server, Firefox has no problem.

Can anyone repro it?

This update includes a security fix from Chromium

Unfinished login and password input fields when logging into the router have been around for several builds (since the new design with “rounded” corners).
How to fix?

DoctorG

@Capushon Open chrome://flags/#customize-chrome-side-panel , set to Disabled and then restart.

chrome://flags/#customize-chrome-side-panel

It does not help...

DoctorG

@Capushon Oh, i misunderstood screenshot and thought you wanted the old design back.
And i do not understand cyrillian languages.

Please explain precise what is not working for you with login?
Do you mean "unfilled login fields", not prefilled by saved password/login?

Hi, we really hit the language barrier, what do you meant with unfinished?

Well, can you see it from the picture now?
Input fields are not displayed correctly.

DoctorG

@Capushon I see what you mean. I do not know which language setting this is. Mongolian? Serbsky? Russian? Khazak? You shoudl tell about it.
Which Operating System?

I can not reproduce your issue 6.7.3329.29 Windows 11 23H2.

I figured out what the problem was - it was in the width of the window due to highly stretched texts that could be shortened without loss of meaning, that's what I did - I edited the localization of this window in the file \Locales\ru.pak

Now it's right:

The English localization does not have this problem.

Tell Russian localizers not to make such long texts when you can use shorter phrases for localization. Ilya Shpankov in particular, let him see what this can lead to in this example.
