Chromium gets new builds once every 20 minutes or so... so if you're running Chromium, then you need to make sure you've gotten the latest and greatest. see http://build.chromium.org/ for the buildbot waterfall and all sorts of goodies. If someone's locked the tree to hack on something, it might take a little longer, so beware. Check that you've first just got a bad build (it happens) and go from there. if the problem persists, try with another browser like Kazehakase or Midori to see if its a WebKit related issue. If that does help, start filing bugs in google's tracker for Chromium.
