From the stack, this looks like a layout issue. I think the tab is closed mid-scroll and some IPC messages get missed.

I can probably remedy this test by guaranteeing we are not scrolling by the end of it..

Can this case happen in actual browser usage?

I'm assuming so. To clarify this is an assertion failure in debug builds, not an actual segmentation fault.

Wouldn't orange robot be posting here? Any links to failed tests?
David,

I tried working around this assertion, but looks like I failed. Do you have any clue why we are running into this?

We're hitting this case here [1], which means an async message's callback returned false. However CompositorBridgeChild doesn't have any methods which actually do that, so probably it was a routing or channel state problem, which would get deduced here [2].

To narrow down which case, I would log the message code in CompositorBridgeChild::OnProcessingError. You could also log the message ID in MessageChannel::DispatchAsyncMessage, which we'd want to know if this is a send-after-shutdown bug.
