Package: galeon Severity: normal Version: 1.0.3-1.ximian.2 Synopsis: Crash when opening multiple URLs in rapid succession Bugzilla-Product: galeon Bugzilla-Component: general Description: Dumping the following in an xterm all at once: galeon http://www.twcinci.com/Cable/Products/iControl.asp& galeon http://www.sonicblue.com/video/replaytv/replaytv_4000_features.asp& galeon http://www.tivo.com/support/service_privacy_pvr3.asp& galeon http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2001/06/20/tivo_hack/index.html& galeon http://www.sonicblue.com/video/replaytv/replaytv_4000_features.asp& galeon http://siliconvalley.internet.com/news/article/0,2198,3531_929601,00.html& galeon http://www.eff.org/IP/DRM/HDTV/20020117_eff_bpdg_overview.html& galeon http://news.com.com/2110-1023-255924.html\?tag=bplst& galeon http://news.com.com/2100-1033-237450.html\?legacy=cnet& galeon http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/165181.html& ..results in the following line being printed: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 713 (gtk_container_add): assertion `widget != NULL' failed. ...and then a crash. It seems to be reproduceable, and it seems not to matter whether or not Galeon is already running when you do this. If you don't have the ampersands there, then it takes a few seconds, and in some cases, dozens of seconds, for one command to return so the next one can be started, and this seems to prevent the crash. (Though it is inconvenient to have to wait for a large number of URLs to load sequentially, especially since for each one, Galeon will jump to the top of the window stack on the desktop.) In case you're wondering, I'm doing this because I need to copy down the titles and bylines from a few hundred web pages, to document them for my thesis, and it's much, much faster to just load all the URLs at once, and then close them one by one as I go along.
