BleachBit finds passwords to delete even though Chromium is set to not store passwords

Forums: 

Browser: Chromium version 60.0.3112.78 (Developer Build)
OS: Linux Mint 18.2 (32-bit)

I have encountered an odd problem with BleachBit and Chromium:
I have Chromium set to not save any passwords, yet when I close the browser and click on "Clean" in BleachBit (standard, non-root version), BB identifies that I have passwords.
This happens every time without fail, yet in the right-hand pane in BB I can see that no passwords have been deleted.

Create custom cleaner_data in binary file?

But if I click on the bleachbit icon to run bleachbit on the user account, I get nothing. when I click on the "as root" icon, and choose "ignore", I get nothing. If I open a terminal and execute "bleachbit", I get:

Get rid of unused fonts

By default, many Linux distros come with tons of junk fonts for every locale imaginable - Devangari, Pashto, Arabic, Thai, Urdu etc.

With all due respect for those folks, probably even they're going to need ONE of those regions on their machine, tops. As for the rest of the world, we'll be fine with Latin.
