I'm getting the "Aw Snap" message consistently in Chrome when performing the following:

  1. Load a page that displays a silverlight rendering
  2. Click on a button that fires off a fancybox containing an iFrame that contains the same Silverlight rendering
  3. Close the fancybox
  4. Receive the dreaded "Aw Snap" message
  5. Reload page and page loads up again


  • This does not happen in IE
  • This does not happen in Firefox
  • When I go to chrome://crashes/ there is no record of the crash

Chrome Version: 24.0.1312.57

Silverlight Version: Silverlight 5 (5.1.10411.0)

Searching through Google's Chrome issue board yielded very little and any issue reported that was similar was either years old or did not have a response. Hoping that someone has encountered the same problem and has a workaround.
