Settings saved in localStorage gone after closing the browser

[Joshua Lückers]

I have an extension which stores its settings in a localStorage. But
if I close the browser (Google Chrome 6.0.472.25 dev running at Ubuntu
10.10 development version) the settings will be deleted.
This always worked in a previous version of Google Chrome. Is there
something changed recently that might cause this issue or am I doing
something wrong with my extension?

I would file a bug on http://crbug.com/new with a detailed description.  localStorage should not be deleted when you close the browser (sessionStorage would).

Also make sure your profile directory isn't being cleared - for example, sometimes I test Chrome with new profile directories under /tmp which get deleted when I restart.

My profile directory is not being cleared. It works fine for another
extension I made. Just this particular one doesn't seem to remember
it's localStorage. (No code changes and it did work before in other
version of Chrome).
So shall I fill in a bug report and if yes what kind of info should I
provide when doing so?

Regards,

A bug report wouldn't hurt - please try to include as much code or steps to reproduce as possible (while still remaining readable to the people reviewing the bug).  

If you're willing to attach a copy of the extension with instructions on how to test, that would be most helpful as well.
