Hi Olivier,

That was the reason why I did not report the bug, as I thought it'd make
more sense to focus on getting everything migrated to Oxide rather than
trying to fix something that's going to become obsolete very soon.

For more context, I could reproduce this first when running Reminders in
the emulator (the Evernote notes are loaded in a WebKit-based web view),
and then I could see it too running Eventunity from the store.

We've now got a Reminders branch that's migrated to Oxide [1], but now
running it on the emulator I get this error when trying to load the content
of a note:

LaunchProcess: failed to execvp:

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/oxide-qt/chrome-sandbox

If it makes a difference, I tested this on an image (118) that's not the
latest. Any ideas?

Cheers,
David.
