Comment 1 Don Scorgie 2006-03-21 18:16:24 UTC 
This happens because the timeout for updating the accessibility stuff doesn't get a chance to run before closing the app.

I've just committed a patch to CVS HEAD that should fix this (by keeping track of the timeout function and removing it when destroying the html widget).

Closing.

        * src/yelp-html.cpp:
        Keep track of timeout and remove when not needed
        Fixes bug #335306
