@alexwykoff - just checking: is this on the new chromium build? if so, i think it's related to #5930

[alexwykoff]

It's still present as of commit bd60fe9

afaik, the issue isn't fixed yet... and is something introduced by the new chromium. so i'm trying to determine whether this issue and #5930 are "the same thing"...

[alexwykoff]

I was able to reproduce by launching from master (which uses the older libchromium) so I am not sure that it is introduced from the chromium54 update. The new build ( 0.13.0 Preview 2 ) cannot create a wallet at all which is a separate issue.

@mrose17 thanks!

[mrose17]

it turns out that a change to the caching algorithm in the ledger caused this issue. the ledger caching is fixed and the issue is now gone... my bad, sorry!

[luixxiul]

yes I confirmed that, thanks!
