[android-developers] Re: Anyone else notice that WebKit in ICS has some serious bugs?

We're seeing similar errors (Unknown chromium error: -6, CSS or .json
files not loading in an embedded webview, text misaligned or missing,
etc.) on 4.0.2 that rolled out to Samsung Galaxy Nexus. However,
everything works fine in the 4.0.3 emulator and also now for a Galaxy
Nexus S that just received an update. And all of this HTML/CSS/
Javascript gets tested on desktop browsers.

The "ported" 4.0.2 version, that is marked 4.0.3, for the Sprint
Galaxy Nexus S 4G works better than the Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 but still
has some major problems.

We're trying to get access to a Nexus S that _is_ having problems. It
is apparently a problem on UK devices. We've so far determined that
the Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 version is hopelessly broken in this way and
cannot be worked around. Hopefully a fully working 4.0.3 build will
be pushed out soon. My current impression is that some 4.0.3 builds
work perfectly while others are completely broken for embedded
webviews.

This involves code used by many millions of users on most prior
versions of Android, any of which could be trying to go to ICS.
