Crash when downloading medium to large files
Last modified: 2005-02-14 19:58:46 UTC
Distribution: paldo unstable Package: epiphany Severity: critical Version: GNOME2.9.3 CVS HEAD Gnome-Distributor: GNOME.Org Synopsis: Crash when downloading medium to large files Bugzilla-Product: epiphany Bugzilla-Component: Downloads Bugzilla-Version: CVS HEAD BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.8.0) Description: Description of the crash: Whenever I download a not too small file (say 5 MB and more) epiphany crashes right in the middle of the download. Steps to reproduce the crash: 1. Click on a http file download link on the web. 2. Choose "Save as" in the download dialog. 3. Wait until 2 or 3 MB have been downloaded. Expected Results: Not crashing at all... How often does this happen? Always when saving medium to large files from the web. Additional Information: I'm using epiphany 1.5.3, not CVS HEAD. It didn't occur with previous 1.5.x versions. The used gecko library comes from a Firefox 1.0 installation. Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/epiphany' Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2004-12-29 10:26 ------- Unknown platform unknown. Setting to default platform "Other". Unknown milestone "unknown" in product "epiphany". Setting to default milestone for this product, '---' Setting to default status "UNCONFIRMED". Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
Appears to be a unique stack trace.
Interesting. That stack trace seems to be totally impossible :) If you compile from source, can you try to comment out this line in embed/downloader-view.c, and try again? gtk_tree_view_set_enable_search (GTK_TREE_VIEW (priv->treeview), FALSE);
Doesn't seem to make a difference. It still crashes... Sometimes it crashes after finishing the download (with a similar stack trace) and on some occasions, even large downloads don't crash, maybe it depends on the server. Downloading from http://ftp.gnome.org seems to lead to crashes very often.
Turned out to be gtk+ bug, bug 143829. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 143829 ***
