control: reassign -1 src:twm
I see the problem even in Chromium 69 with both twm and ctwm.
This seems like it should be considered a bug in twm. The chromium
upstream bug report includes a lightly tested patch to twm that fixes
it.
It looks as if the patch works around a bug in Chromium which I guess
explains why I don't have trouble with other applications. But, thank
you for the pointer, I had carelessly missed the reference to the
upstream report. I now tried the current ctwm 4.0.2 which looks to
already have the patch and Chromium is working much better with it.
(Debian packages 3.7 so I built from git.)
