PopupsAllowedForUrls not adding urls to popup exception list

Reported by viveknna...@gmail.com, Sep 28 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. I'm trying to "Allow popups on these sites" through group policy, admin templates.
2. I've put URLs in as exceptions and they don't populate in Chrome content settings on any domain computers.  I listed domains as [*].website.com

4. I've set the policy as a Computer policy and User Policy.

5. Other policies do load such as home button, and homepage.

6. I've found that the corresponding registry key (HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\PopupsAllowedForUrls) does have my correct URL values.  Yet these do not show in Chrome popup exception list. Its empty

What is the expected behavior?
Popups are allowed for listed domains.

What went wrong?
Popups are still blocked for listed domains.

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 61.0.3163.100  Channel: n/a
OS Version: Windiows 7
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

Julian, would you know if policy registry keys read on Windows are processed in a case-sensitive way?
If yes, this could explain the issue
PopupsAllowedForUrls (policy name) vs. PopupsAllowedforUrls (from screenshot)
Thats what all I have done. Added registry values and rebooted. I am attaching the screenshots of the results again. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding requester "kkaluri@chromium.org" to the cc list and removing "Needs-Feedback" label.

Yes please try fixing the case of letters. Although the Windows registry is case insensitive it is case preserving and Chrome's code might be sensitive to that. You won't be able to rename the reg key just by changing the case (as from Win's perspective you have't changed it) but you can go through a dummy name and then to the properly cased name. 

If this doesn't help we can do further investigation.
