With Chrome’s fourth birthday celebration in full swing, Google updated the Dev channel of the browser to 23.0.1255.0, for all supported platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux and ChromeFrame).

No new feature found their way in this release, only repairs for various issues. One of them, affecting all supported platforms, refers to a sessionStorages-related crash.

On Windows, the repairs eliminated a bug that caused Chrome shortcuts to stop working on Microsoft’s upcoming operating system, after completing an update. Furthermore, scrolling down using Space key when IME (input method editor) is enabled.

Another problem corrected on Windows is the impossibility to type Japanese/Korean into a text field in a Flash application on Window Vista/7 using MS Japanese IME and MS Korean IME

On Mac, the only fix is for a crash occurring when playing video on devices with retina display.
