Thanks for reporting that.  FWIW it works well here on Chrome for Ubuntu.

This is an especially useful report for the readers of a list about a 
multi-platform development tool:

Those who do web development understand all too well that, despite using 
relatively limited APIs designed specifically for omni-platform 
interoperability and financed by some of the largest companies in 
history, inconsistencies between brands of browsers and versions of 
browsers and different OSes make for a tragically unpredictable world of 
development expense that not even the world's considerable investment in 
HTML5 as a common spec has yet eliminated.

Warts and all, compared to the best work of the world's biggest 
companies, LC looks pretty good, even more so when we compare the amount 
of financing for the respective teams.
