inline css images not displayed in Chrome

[Juerg Anderegg]

I've noticed that background images in chrome are not displayed in CKEditor 4.1 if you enter them as absolute paths:

<div style="background-image: url('/images/test.jpg') => won't display on Chrome

BUT:

<div style="background-image: url('http:www.myserver.com/images/test.jpg') will display on Chrome.

It works on Firefox and Safari

AND: It also works on Chrome using CKEditor 3.x...

I can confirm this is happening only in Chrome from CKEditor 4 beta (It works in CKE 3.x).

Below code won't work in in Chrome. I can't even see image getting called in Chrome network tab.

<div style="background-image: url('./assets/sample.jpg'); width:200px; height:200px;">aa</div>
