Entered PDF for component, not sure why this submitted component as "Blink".

Looks like a duplicate of  issue 810166  and the fix is to be merged to Chrome 64 soon.

Able to reproduce the issue on Win-10 and Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #64.0.3282.167 but the same is not reproducible in the latest canary #66.0.3350.0, beta #65.0.3325.73 and dev #66.0.3346.8.

The issue looks similar to issue id: 810166. Hence, merging into that issue id.

Thanks...!!
