Chromium 100 enables kGlobalMediaControlsCastStartStop by default and it makes my libstdc++ build crash with a double free of some sort. The crash is reproducible by clicking on global media controls while a video is playing and then dismissing the dialog. I tried building with libstdc++ and ASan but it reports a violation while starting Chromium so that wasn't much help. A libc++ and ASan build did not report any issues while opening and closing the global media controls dialog.

I tested adding "cast_controller_->RemoveObserver(this)" to MediaItemUIDeviceSelectorView's destructor and it seemed to work, but I have no idea if it's the correct thing to do.

Perhaps someone more familiar with Chromium's code can spot the cause of this? I have attached a backtrace, though I'm not sure where the double free is originating.

I would suggest filing a report on crbug.com. Then it can be more
easily routed to the folks who work on this feature.

Hi Lei, filed it as https://crbug.com/1314342

(I was a bit hesitant to file it on crbug due to the non-standard configuration and no clear code bug, which is why I poked in here first.)
