Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug-HOWTO.html and add a description of how to reproduce this bug. You'll also need to add a stack trace; please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information about how to do so.
Overview: it crashes when clicking on any link in the first page it loads, it think the title says it all. It happends always: 1) press F1 whereever you want 2) click on any link ===> CRASH! What should happend?? ==> it is right as it is as i guess it is supposed to crash, of course Aditional information: I have build it from CVS with -g -O0 It is linked against firefox libraries and firefox work without ever crashing I'm running on debian unstable with gnome compiled from scratch, everything is working except for yelp. I'll recompile gtk with debug enabled when i get some time.
Hi, What happens if you click on any other area within the main window? (i.e. on any part of the window that isn't a link?) Also, what happens if you try and resize the window (without clicking a link)? I suspect this might be another manifestation of bug 324190. Which version of firefox are you compiling against? Cheers
Can you paste the output on the console when this crash happens? Is it: Gtk-CRITICAL: gtk_window_present_with_time: assertion `GTK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed ? Unfortunately none of the functions in your stack trace are part of yelp. Although yelp does call gtk_window_present(), it would be nice to know from which function inside of yelp...
it happends clikcing anywhere in the main window. If i resize the window it does not crash
yes, that is extacly the output that i get. I have compiled firefox with -g -O0 unfortunately the backtrace that i get is exactly the same. I have compiled firefox CVS HEAD as of tonite. The thing is that with the same build neither firefox, epiphany crash. But devhelp and yelp do. So my guess is that something that yelp and devhelp are doing is not completely ok (i think that both share the same code to interact with gecko).
Hi, Can you try rebuilding Yelp with the patch from bug #324190 applied and see if that fixes the problem? Thanks
yeap, it fixes the crash.
