GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 549270
Epiphany stopped being able to load pages and would not exit
Last modified: 2008-09-04 13:05:57 UTC
Steps to reproduce: For some reason, epiphany stopped being able to load pages. Clicking on a link or entering a URL would cause the throbber to throb, but no effort was seemingly made to actually load a new page. After I closed all the open epiphany windows, the process was still running. I attached to it with gdb and got this backtrace: Stack trace:
+ Trace 205623
Other information: Only happened once so far.
I think this happened when I went to lwn.net, and logged out. This sent me to https://lwn.net/ which (if I go there in a fresh epiphany session) throws up a mixed content warning; but when this bug occurred, there was no warning displayed. The names of the stack frames might indicate that epiphany thought the dialog was on screen and was waiting for a response.
Hmm, I get no warnings when I visit https://lwn.net/.
So I'm hit by this too. For some reasons, it just stops loading pages :/ Playing a bit with it, it seems it's because it can't reached a web page (which is only accessible on an internal network). If I remove the tab from session_crashed.xml, it works. (ephy 2.23.90, compiled with gecko 1.8)
Vincent: can you get a gdb trace from when this happens? If it contains EmbedWindow::ShowAsModal (as does comment 0) then this is a dup of bug 535127; otherwise it's a different bug than comment 0. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 535127 ***
