Description J.H.M. Dassen (Ray) 2008-08-15 10:28:49 UTC
Package: yelp
Version: svn trunk (r3173)

While researching http://bugs.debian.org/493881, I've found some other
crashes due to failed YELP_IS_DOCUMENT (document) assertions.

I'm testing on a Debian sid x86_64 system (package details below) using yelp
svn trunk (r3173), running the tests in env YELP_DEBUG=all.

With "yelp ghelp:window-list"
-----------------------------

With this document, I get a consistent crash. Run "yelp ghelp:window-list"
from within gdb, click on the single "1. Problem showing document" link,
nothing happens; click the link again, crash. This is the same behaviour as
in the Debian report.

With "yelp ghelp:gnomebaker"
----------------------------

With this document, the crash is not consistent. The problem often shows up
when run from gdb and clicking the "2. Getting Started" link without first
hovering over any other links.

With "yelp ghelp:virt-manager"
------------------------------

With this document, the crash is not consistent. The problem often shows up
when run from gdb and clicking the "2. Getting Started" link after first
hovering over some other links.
