"Close window after sending to printer" option breaks print on Chrome

I have successfully patched print.pages.inc based on solution from darven in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7652981/chrome-window-print-window-cl... : I replaced window.close() with setTimeout(function(){window.close();}, 1).

Line 180 then becomes:

    $window_close = (variable_get('print_html_new_window', PRINT_HTML_NEW_WINDOW_DEFAULT) && variable_get('print_html_windowclose', PRINT_HTML_WINDOWCLOSE_DEFAULT)) ? 'setTimeout(function(){window.close();}, 1);' : '';

The original forms the following script:

function ($) {
	Drupal.behaviors.print = {
		attach: function(context) {
			$(window).load(function() {
				window.print();
				window.close();
			})
		}
	}
}(jQuery);

The patched version forms this script:

function ($) {
	Drupal.behaviors.print = {
		attach: function(context) {
			$(window).load(function() {
				window.print();
				setTimeout(function(){window.close();}, 1); /* In fact timeout doesn't start until print dialog closes */
			})
		}
	}
}(jQuery);

I successfully tested this in Chrome, FFX and IE11.
