Attempting to import a certificate authority crashes my settings tab
I'm attempting to set up OpenVPN. One of the first steps involves importing the CA in the Authorities tab. Under the Home edition version 72.4, I first visit chrome://settings/certificates. When I click the Authorities tab, CPU use spikes for a bit and then the tab crashes. While the CPU spikes, I'm unable to interact with the tab, and I don't see this behavior with any other tabs on that screen.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Nolan,
What version of CloudReady are you on? 72.4.27 ? You can check under Settings > About CloudReadyI am not having the same issue with certificates UI on my machine which is installed with v72.4.27 (64bit), so this may also be hardware specific. Can you share as much detail as possible about your device's model name, number, and internal components?

Cloudready 72.4.27 (Developer Build - neverware) developer-build chromeover64
Custom PC build with an Intel I7, Maximus VIII Impact motherboard. I can provide other details on request.
So I'm poking around in /var/log trying to find more details for a better error request and have noticed two things. First, corresponding with each crash, I get this in /var/log/messages:
2019-02-11T10:49:53.596037-06:00 INFO kernel: [ 4335.596511] traps: chrome[18692] trap int3 ip:5625f9ab0de0 sp:7ffdd5bacc70 error:0 in chrome[5625f3600000+8b24000]

So that looks like a thing that might provide more information if it actually ran, which it doesn't appear to be doing. :) Is there a way for me to get a more meaningful crash report, or will this have to be fixed on your end? Or is it a red herring?
Thanks.

I've duplicated this on my older Dell Latitude E4300, so if it's hardware-specific, then it is specific to both pieces of hardware I own. :) I've submitted feedback from both computers--one last night at around 9 PM Central, and another just now.
One probable difference between my setup and yours is that I'm running with the Chromevox screen reader enabled. I'd hope that wouldn't make a difference, but it's true on both devices, and maybe something in the accessibility subsystem isn't happy when that particular tab attempts to load.
Happy to provide any additional details. Thanks for the help.

Wait, I just reread your instructions. You tell me to reboot and log in after the crash. I just pressed Alt-Shift-i immediately after the crash. Do I have to reboot first?
To be clear, the system continues to run. It's only the settings tab that crashes. So I could reboot, but that probably wouldn't give you the freshest data.
Thanks.

I'm able to reproduce an issue with certificates import when Chrome Vox is enabled, though not a crash.
All three of the other certificate tabs work fine, but (if Chrome Vox is enabled) the Authorities tab freezes the UI when being clicked.
Do you have any workaround to upload your cert, for now, with Chrome Vox disabled? I know that's a big ask; I want to be clear that we think of it only as a bad and temporary workaround.
I'll file a bug internally and see if we can reproduce this issue on an official Chromebook in order to get the work prioritized by Google.

I have not filed a bug. Though I'm happy to do so, if you have the time and inclination I think the report is much more powerful coming from a regular user of ChromeVox - I imagine it will get attention sooner that way.
To reverse your mention - if you link it back here I'll be happy to star and link it back to our internal tracker.
