UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. start linux chrome with a window manager that unmaps iconified/hidden windows and leaves them that way (I use xmonad), and unmap/iconify/hide the window
2. google-chrome http://url/ to open a new tab
3. wait for the timeout
What is the expected behavior?
A tab should be opened in my browser for me to catch up with later.
What went wrong?
The browser restarts, leaving the google-chrome invocation thats you thought was just a remote control as the main browser process.
If you manage to switch to/map the relevant browser window before the timeout, the tab opens and everything is fine.
If you have multiple browser windows, ones that aren't where the tab is opening seem to be blocked.
