Description of the issue:
On Ubuntu, opening a long (to the end of the screen) bookmark folder crashes brave
I imported my bookmarks from linux mint to ubuntu on another laptop. They were in their own folder “bookmarks”. Since Monday 15 Sep, when clicking this folder, the whole browser would crash.
This continues until today.
This doesn’t happen for short folders.
This doesn’t happen on linux mint, possibly because ubuntu uses wayland?
Interestingly, when I move the “bookmarks” folder into an “Imported” folder, the issue stops happening. So imagine Imported > Bookmarks > long list of bookmarks. This way the list opens to the side, not straight down from the bookmarks bar. I wonder if that is related.
Steps to Reproduce:
-
On ubuntu 24.04
-
Import bookmarks, at least 30
-
Click on the folder where they got imported
Actual Result:
The browser immediately crashes.
Expected result:
To open the folder and show the bookmarks.
Reproduces how often:
Each time
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
On ubuntu 24.04
v1.82.170 - but has been happening since the previous version, I first noticed this on Monday 15 Sep.
Additional Information:
Hovering on Bookmarks (that have 30+ bookmarks) like this is safe surprisingly.
But if you move Bookmarks to the same level as Imported, clicking it crashes the browser.
