The duplicate reports this crash with a cvs checkout of today.
It certainly looks like there's a real problem in there somewhere, but without a consistent repro case, it's going to be difficult to make process. Is a corrupt gconf pref value a possibility?
It's 100% re-producible for me by editing prefs and changing the Popup pref either from allow to disallow or the other way. Not sure how I could check for corrupt gconf info, but unless galeon caused it, I didn't do anything :)
Well, that does sound very odd. Can you try out the cvs version of galeon and see if this still happens?
I'm like 90% sure that there have been no changes to code in CVS since I compiled the CVS version I have, but I will re-compile and see what happens. Also, I am running Mozilla 1.3 if that helps.
Yup, still re-producable with latest CVS.
Well, the backtrace is really wierd. it's crashing in a very simple function that shouldn't blow up like this. Maybe it isn't a pref problem. The crash is in trying to get the active tab. Do you have multiple windows open? do you have an unusal window/tab configuration?
Nope, nothing special at all. Just tested it with just 1 window open and it crashed the same as with multiple windows open.
