## Whats the issue?

Looks like Chrome/Chromium have an issue with the `Page.setDownloadBehavior`

development protocol command in combination with the

`always_open_pdf_externally` preference on new windows/tabs. The Chrome/Chromium

process dies suddenly without any logging. Also, no segmentation fault is

logged.

## How to reproduce the issue

You need to set up the Chrome/Chromium session with the specific preferences and

the open a random website. When you click on a link (`target="_blank"` /

`window.open`) to a PDF file you will see the crash.

I also setup this repository to demonstrate the issue and anybody can try to

reproduce it. Just take care of the requirements and run the following commands

to start the example:

```bash

# Install the required gems

$ bundle install

# Start the example

$ bundle exec ruby test.rb

```

### Requirements

* Linux >= 4.15.0

* Google Chrome >=64.0.3282.186

* ChromeDriver >=2.33

* Ruby >=2.4.0

* Bundler >= 1.16.0

### Expected result

The example should keep the Chrome/Chromium process (and window) open for at

least 60 seconds. You should also see the PDF file downloaded to the

`Downloads` directory.

### Demo video

[See the demo video](./demo.webm).
